You just tuned in to another MEAN Production shootout!
“Turn it up a notch!”

In this Mic shootout, we have Warm Audio’s WA–8000 with The Link Mod Max upgrade.
Up against The Slate ML-1 mic with The FG-800 emulator.

Both microphones were recorded simultaneously side-by-side.
Input audio was level matched and gain matched post recording, with a volume boost on the master to the correct volume for the video .

I have both mics plugged directly into inputs 1 and 2 on my Apollo X4, With no preamp or channel strip processing.
This will be direct microphone signal, with the exception of the ML-1 being processed through Slate Digitals Virtual Mix Rack in post Production, for comparison.

Both The FG-800 Emulator and WA-8000 Links Mod Max are going to be replicating The famous classic Sony c800g microphone
Which has be heard on countless records, by Many Industry Recording Artist.

The Sony c800g is regarded as one of the best recording studio microphones available.
It has a bright sound with extreme clarity, allowing vocals to better fit into mixes.

The better the recording, the better your mix will sound.

The Sony c800g is know to provide extreme clarity and brightness that automatically cuts through the mix,
and has a smooth Low end that adds body to the vocal, catching all the details of sound.

It’s no wonder why so many rappers choose to use this microphone in studios, but it’s not just hip-hop artist who appreciate the
Sony c800g.

ML-1 Microphone
The ML-1 microphone is the centerpiece of the Virtual Microphone System. This large diaphragm mic has a shock-mounted, gold sputtered, 6-micron capsule and a state of the art FET circuit path that ensures the most linear, flat, and clean ‘blank canvas’ response. Combined with the Slate Digital tube microphone modeling software, it can sound like some of the most classic microphones in recording history.

FG-800
The FG-800 recreates the sound of one of the most popular modern tube mics, known for being the go-to choice for pop and hip hop vocalists. It’s extremely bright and airy, but with a warm bottom end. Using this mic on vocals will give you an instant polished ‘pop’ sound. However, this mic also sounds great on overheads and acoustic guitar.
