Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a studio chain built around a dedicated preamp and tube condenser, this bundle combines the WA12 MKII, WA-8000 and a 15-foot Premier XLR cable. The discrete, high-voltage, dual-transformer WA12 MKII supplies up to +71 dB of gain and includes a front-panel 2 megaohm Hi-Z input. The large-diaphragm WA-8000 offers cardioid and omni patterns, with a stated 20 Hz–20 kHz response. Its package includes a power supply, shockmount, case and cable, giving the microphone its listed supporting components without a stand.
