The sound of this mic has delivered hits for artists ranging from Dr. Dre, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight to Eminem, Rihanna, Drake and more. The original stood out, boasting a natural and open top end, supremely clear midrange, and the ability to render detail in a vocal performance unlike most other mics on the planet. The WA-8000 rises to the occasion and delivers all that top end, beat by beat, at a price that will leave you hypnotized.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-fade=\"1\" data-x-element=\"column\" data-x-params=\"{\" fade\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Image\" height=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/warmaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/8000-family-1.png\" width=\"690\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/warmaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/8000-family-1.png\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrue To The Legacy.

While vocals and voiceover work may immediately come to mind, the WA-8000 also makes an incredible room microphone for sessions demanding an unparalleled level of detail.

Paired with the tube is a custom-designed heat sink that is essential in reducing heat inside the mic, allowing the tube to operate at optimal temperature. When the tube can operate without overheating, self-noise and distortion virtually disappear, adding to the mic’s astonishingly clean sonic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium Cable From Gotham Switzerland\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften overlooked, the cable connecting a tube microphone to its power supply is quite a critical element of the signal chain.
