True Reproduction Of The OG Mic For Rap, Hip-Hop & R&B
True Reproduction Of A 90s Modern-Classic
The WA-8000 is a true reproduction of a 90s modern-classic known as the go-to mic for rap, hip-hop, R&B and pop. The original 90’s 800-style mic has delivered platinum recordings for artists such as Dr. Dre, Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Rihanna, Drake and many more.
Unapologetic Clarity & Detail
Just like the original, the WA-8000 boasts a natural and open top end, supremely clear midrange, and the ability to render detail beyond most mics on the planet. Whether on vocals, drums, acoustic guitar, or in the room, the WA-8000 rises to the occasion and delivers all of that signature clarity, beat for beat.
Key Features:
Like the original 800-style mic, the WA-8000 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.
Using an all-brass, custom K67-style capsule coupled with the original circuit design, the WA-8000 captures every subtle nuance of vocal and acoustic performances.
The WA-8000 uses a NOS tube to match the tonal character of the original - known for consistent performance without overheating.
The WA-8000 uses a custom-made transformer from Lundahl Sweden, delivering unmatched top-end and detail that listeners quickly recognize when selecting the WA-8000 to capture a performance.
Capture focused lead vocals & instruments with the cardioid pattern, or set the WA-8000 to omnidirectional mode to capture room tones, reflections, background vocals, and much more.

Components:
Custom K-67 Inspired Capsule
Like the original, the WA-8000 uses an upgraded all-brass, custom K-67 inspired capsule coupled with the original circuit design, the WA-8000 is able to achieve true-to-spec results. The capsule is a significant part of the WA-8000’s ability to capture every subtle nuance of vocal and acoustic performances.
Transformer From Lundahl Sweden
We paired the true-to-spec capsule and circuit design with a large-core transformer, custom made for the WA-8000 from Lundahl in Sweden. Transformer selection plays a critical role in the open top end and enormous soundscape that listeners quickly recognize when selecting the WA-8000 to capture an intricate performance.
NOS Tube With Critical Heat Sink
The WA-8000 uses an NOS (New Old Stock) 6AU6 vacuum tube to match the tonal character of the original. 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.
Critical Polar Patterns
Capture focused lead vocals & instruments with the cardioid pattern, or set the WA-8000 to omnidirectional mode to capture room tones, reflections, background vocals, and much more.
