Very close, the wa 8000 is absolutely amazing in how it closely matches the c8000 but the c8000 just has a sound had a smoothness like someone else said that adds so much to an already amazing voice. But for the price it’s probably as close as you’ll get and that’s a feat in its own so with that being said I’d definitely say it’s worth it

We did this same shoot out at my studio. I have 2 Sony c800g’s and my boy grabbed one of these and brought it over. It sounds really good and for the price point it’s a no brainer especially if you want to be able to move around with it. It doesn’t have the same thickness on the bottom that the Sony has, none of the clones we’ve tested do. I think people miss that a lot, the fullness of the bottom. Also the top end is good, real good, but the Sony has a (down your throat) quality to it that no other mic has, sounds more 3d for lack of a better term. Great review and you sound amazing! I subscribed and followed on IG!

@@mixedbygip8938 The basic mod makes it really close and it's $100 for you to get the kit, $350 for us to do the mod. The full mod makes it nearly identical as we do a full tear down of the mic and install everything that is in the real Sony c800g but that is $1250 for the mod, and you need to supply us with the Sony capsule ($930). We are sold out of the capsules. We have completed 11 full mods already. All in all the mic really opens up after the basic mod, and the rest is for purest. If you like the mic already, it sounds ten times better with the basic mod. We have already modded mics on Reverb dot com for $1799 with Nuemann capsules too

@@Mope333 PT is fine, I just got tired of their predatory practices and not keeping up with worthwhile, modern updates. S1 does everything and more than PT. I like to think of S1 as a hybrid of PT and FL studio. Best of both worlds. The workflow is crisp and solid and has lots of features that would require a whole wall of text to detail. I suggest giving it a shot. It was strange at first but once I got my footing, I never looked back.

The c800g is one of the simplest microphone circuits with only a handful of parts inside. Warm Audio copied the schematic available on the internet using the correct values, that's why it sounds similar, but as everyone can hear the flavor of those parts really matter to the recipe of the c800g sound. The WA 8000 is identical to the c800g on the inside, Warm Audio used a muddy capsule, the completely wrong tube, a WIMA capacitor that adds the wrong frequencies, and they did not add any foam under the capsule, so this makes it sound different from a c800g. All you have to do is add the Sony parts and the 2 mics match much closer to each other. It's not that complicated at all. Anyone who owns a WA8000 should put the Sony parts inside while they still can, try it yourself, we did and we were surprised with what we heard.
