Warm Audio WA-8000G Large Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone - Gold Edition
The Warm Audio WA-8000G is a special limited edition all-gold version of Warm's best-selling WA-8000 large diaphragm tube condenser microphone. Like the original, the WA-8000G boasts a natural and open top end, supremely clear midrange, and the ability to render brilliant detail. Living up to its highly sought-after sonic legacy, the WA-8000G is engineered true to spec, featuring premium components, an all-brass K67-style capsule, and, now, with a high-quality and durable nickel plating mixed with real gold. The Limited Edition Gold WA-8000G meets all of the critical specifications of the original, giving you the true sound of modern R&B and Hip-hop in a sleek new design.
The WA-8000 is easily recognizable by its open top end, crystal clear midrange, and an uncanny ability to capture every detail of acoustic sources. While most commonly known for modern R&B, Rap, and Hip-hop, the WA-8000 gives you that unmistakable “airy” and polished sound associated with some of the most hi-fidelity recordings of the 90’s and beyond. The WA-8000 is a true studio workhorse equipped to capture any voice or acoustic instrument with elite results.
True to the Warm formula, the WA-8000 is designed with uncompromising standards using carefully selected, premium components. The WA-8000 features the Swedish-made Lundahl transformer, which performed well beyond any other components during rigorous testing cycles. The NOS 6AU6 tubes selected for assembly provide the widest clear dynamic range of the various brands tested, opening up the greatest level of sonic detail with generous amounts of headroom. Inspired by the original, the all-brass K67-style capsule is engineered with precision, leveraging the highest quality raw materials, even down to the tensioning hoops. The custom-designed external tube mount and heat sink component lowers self-noise and maintains optimal operating temperature. An often overlooked accessory of tube microphones are their 7-pin cables. The WA-8000 includes a 7-pin GAC-7 cable manufactured by Gotham Switzerland to strict standards that outshine any alternatives in terms of rejection and signal-to-noise performance.
The WA-8000 includes a professional-level, hard carrying case to ensure safe transport of the microphone and its premium components - wherever you record.
