{"product_id":"heritage-audio-ut-vintage-87-large-diaphragm-condenser-microphone","title":"Heritage Audio UT Vintage 87 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cb\u003eA legacy mic - minus the legacy price.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe UT Vintage87 gives everyone the sound and essence of one of the most in-demand microphone designs of all time. The UT Vintage87 features the same component selection and build quality of the UT Twin87 streamlined to a single, fixed true cardioid pattern. To make UT Vintage87 accessible, United simply stripped away several features from the UT Twin87 that some users may not need - no other cost-cutting measures were implemented. UT Vintage87 delivers instant gratification that works every time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe UT Vintage87 features United's own large-core, custom-wound, US-made output transformer, United's own custom made 24k gold sputtered dual diaphragm\/dual backplate K87-style capsule, and a whole assortment of hand-selected, premium components such as polystyrene, tantalum, multilayer ceramic, and WIMA film capacitors, metal and carbon film resistors, and hand-selected transistors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe legendary sounds of your favorite records and films are now yours - minus the legendary price tag.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA custom United UT-K87 capsule.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn order to match the robust, versatile, and well-balanced sound of the classic, United used their own custom-made K87-style, dual diaphragm\/single backplate capsule. It's an efficient circuit built from top-of-the-line components for pure and uncompromising sound quality. The UT-K87 capsule is precision milled from brass, skinned with 6 micron Japanese PET film (mylar), and has 24k gold sputtered membrane. The capsules are skinned in a laboratory clean-room environment.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA custom United transformer.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnited looked at many iterations of the original German output transformer used in this type of microphone, drawing particular inspiration from some of the older, larger frame designs. Knowing that size can sometimes be a limiting factor, United developed their own custom-wound transformer which has nearly four times the metal mass found in any \"87-style\" microphones. This ensures that there are no bottlenecks or weak links in the design, and that nothing is lost in translation as the signal is passed out of the microphone and down long cable runs. The transformer sounds open, with high headroom, and a clear, three dimensional sound - and will never impede low frequencies.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nUnited's custom-wound, US made transformer is built with large, all nickel laminations. They could have used a smaller or less expensive transformer; they simply refused to compromise.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIt's not just another mic - it's a United.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe classic original mic's pattern-select circuitry is excluded from the UT Vintage87, yielding a hotter, more pure, and cleaner true-cardioid response. A switchable output filter blocks RF and EM interference.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the case of the UT Vintage87, \"Vintage\" means timeless-not \"old.\" Based on the R\u0026amp;D of the UT Twin87, UT Vintage87 is built to a timeless standard for timeless sounds; including many high-end components more commonly found in boutique offerings. Now everyone has access to one of the world's most renowned quality microphones.\u003cbr\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFaithful reproduction of the vintage German studio microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCustom United 24k gold sputtered dual diaphragm\/dual backplate K87 style capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSwitchable RF filter, for the first time on a vintage style \"87-style\" microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eTrue-cardioid pattern that is slightly hotter, more pure, and boasts a better signal-to-noise ratio than the classic original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCustom wound, American-made United transformer with 4x the metal mass of \"other 87s\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eAbsolute workhorse, a desert-island microphone for professional studios and voiceover work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eClean, clear, articulate, open sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLow noise and high headroom and dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eType: Condenser Microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCapsule: UT Series, 34mm brass, insulated dual backplate K87\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDiaphragm: Dual-diaphragm, 6 micron, 24k gold sputtered Mylar (PET film)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCapsule Sensitivity: -34dB @ 60v\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePolar Pattern: Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSPL: 117 dB (127 dB w\/ Pad) @ .5% THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 27 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eOutput Connector: 24k gold plated XLR, pin 2 HOT, pin 1 GND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eAmplifier Type: Field Effect Transistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSelf Noise: 10 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eOutput: Custom-wound UT Series transformer, made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eHigh Pass Filter: 80hZ (12 dB down point)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePad: -10 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBody: Nickel electroplated, solid milled brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMount: Suspension type shock mount (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eGround: Pin 1 XLR (required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePower Input: 48v Phantom Power (via XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: Vintage-style pouch, shockmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMicrophone Dimensions: Height: 220 mm \/ 8.6\", Diameter: 55 mm \/ 2.2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFaithful reproduction of the vintage German studio microphone\nCustom United 24k gold sputtered dual diaphragm\/dual backplate K87 style capsule\nSwitchable RF filter, for the first time on a vintage style \"87-style\" microphone\nTrue-cardioid pattern that is slightly hotter, more pure, and boasts a better signal-to-noise ratio than the classic original\nCustom wound, American-made United transformer with 4x the metal mass of \"other 87s\"\nAbsolute workhorse, a desert-island microphone for professional studios and voiceover work\nClean, clear, articulate, open sound\nLow noise and high headroom and dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48606310105241,"sku":"UT-VINTAGE87","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0029\/6999\/3316\/files\/UT-VINTAGE87.jpg?v=1785844925","url":"https:\/\/rectangletriangle.ca\/fr\/products\/heritage-audio-ut-vintage-87-large-diaphragm-condenser-microphone","provider":"Rectangle Triangle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
