Warm Audio WA-8000 Tube Condenser Microphone

Warm Audio WA-8000

The Warm Audio WA-8000 is a large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone inspired by one of the most iconic vocal mics ever used on hit records. Designed to deliver a wide-open, forward sound, it gives vocals an immediate, polished presence that feels right at home in pop, hip-hop, R&B, and any production where the voice needs to sit front and center.

To capture the character of its legendary inspiration, Warm Audio developed a bespoke all-brass K67-style capsule, paired it with a new-old stock 6AU6 tube, and matched the circuit with a custom Lundahl transformer. The result is a microphone that feels lively and detailed, while staying smooth enough to track confidently without fighting harshness later in the mix.

As an authorized dealer, Pro Audio Reserve ensures you’re receiving a genuine Warm Audio microphone backed by full manufacturer warranty and long-term support.

A Vocal Mic That Sounds Finished on the Way In

The WA-8000 is built for vocals that need clarity, size, and confidence. Its wide frequency range and detailed midrange help vocals cut through dense productions without sounding thin or overhyped.

While it is a standout choice for lead vocals, this microphone also performs beautifully on acoustic guitars, piano, and other full-spectrum instruments where detail and presence matter.

Precision-Made K67-Style Capsule and Lundahl Transformer

At the heart of the Warm Audio WA-8000 is a custom all-brass K67-style capsule, carefully tuned to capture nuance and articulation across the full frequency spectrum. This capsule design is known for its versatility and ability to translate both subtle detail and bold performances.

The capsule is paired with a custom Lundahl transformer, creating a proven signal path that contributes to the WA-8000’s distinctive midrange presence and controlled low end.

External Heat Sink for Stable, Low-Noise Performance

One of the most distinctive elements of the WA-8000 is its custom-designed external heat sink assembly. This design draws heat away from the tube and internal electronics, helping the microphone maintain a stable operating temperature during long sessions.

Beyond improving consistency and lowering the noise floor, the heat sink also makes tube swaps easier, keeping sessions moving if maintenance is ever needed.
