The WA-8000 tube condenser microphone is now available in a limited edition gold design. The inspiration for the WA-8000 Gold is a highly sought-after and revered design of the early 1990s. 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 Gold rises to the occasion and delivers all that top end, beat by beat, at a price that will leave you hypnotized.

While most commonly known for modern R&B, Rap, and Hip-hop, the WA-8000 Gold gives you that unmistakable “airy” and polished sound associated with some of the most hi-fidelity recordings of the 90’s and beyond. While vocals and voiceover work may immediately come to mind, the WA-8000 Gold also makes an incredible room microphone for sessions demanding an unparalleled level of detail.
