For the first time ever, United has created a microphone that duplicates both circuits, and can reconfigure itself on the fly for an exceptional reproduction of the sonic capabilities of both microphones. The UT Twin87 features our own large-core, custom-wound, US-made output transformer, our own custom made 24k gold sputtered dual diaphragm\/dual backplate K87 style capsule, and a whole assortment of selected, premium components such as polystyrene, tantalum, multilayer ceramic, WIMA film capacitors, metal and carbon film resistors, and hand-selected transistors. \n\nVintage, or modern? The UT Twin87 finally ends the debate with a new answer — both.\n\nThe UT Twin87 offers the authentic sonic capabilities of both “87-style” microphones in one package. United extensively measured component values and types, and circuit differences between ‘golden reference’ specimens of the very earliest available microphones of this style, as well as some of the final revisions produced. These variations were studied, documented, and their audible differences were carefully teased out. No mere ‘EQ\/boost’ circuit or digital gimmick would cut it — the UT Twin87 literally toggles between two discrete ‘87 style circuit topologies, separated by nearly half a century.\n\nIn Vintage mode, the UT Twin87 polarizes its capsule directly by phantom power voltages, taking advantage of an insulated, dual backplate capsule design — just as the earliest \"87-style\" microphones did. The high-Z and de-emphasis circuitry use all of the same component choices as the original. This yields a slightly warmer, softer and forgiving sound. \n\nIn Modern mode, the capsule is polarized at a higher voltage using an FET oscillator circuit as found on later revisions of the classic mic, yielding a higher capsule sensitivity and feeding a hotter signal into the amplifier circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType Condenser Microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapsule UT Series, 34mm brass, insulated dual backplate K87\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiaphragm Dual-diaphragm, 6 micron, 24k gold sputtered Mylar (PET film)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Supply +48v Phantom Power (via XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround Pin 1 XLR (required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar Pattern Cardioid, Figure 8, Omni\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPL 136 dB (145 dB w\/ Pad) @ \u0026lt;.5% THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance 27 ?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier Type Field Effect Transistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf Noise \u0026lt;10 dB (cardioid setting, no pad, no HPF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Custom-wound UT Series transformer, made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Nickel electroplated, solid milled brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh pass filter 80hZ (12dB down point)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad -10dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector 24k gold plated XLR, pin 2 HOT, pin 1 GND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Suspension type shock mount (coming soon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions Height: 220mm \/ 8.6 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 55mm \/ 2.2 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShockmount Depth: 190mm \/ 7.5 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48606318952601,"sku":"UT-TWIN87","price":899.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0029\/6999\/3316\/files\/UT-TWIN87.jpg?v=1785844932","url":"https:\/\/rectangletriangle.ca\/fr\/products\/heritage-audio-ut-twin87-large-diaphragm-twin-circuit-condenser-microphone","provider":"Rectangle Triangle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
