Warm Audio WA-8000

WA-8000 tube-condenser microphone. The inspiration and design comes from one of the most sought-after microphones from the earlier 1990s for vocal use.

The WA-8000 sonically lives up to the role model’s sound, and you can easily sense why that particular character was so sought after and still is. With a naturally boosted top and extremely clear midrange, the details of your vocals are reproduced more than most other microphones on the market.
