United Studio UT Twin87 ไมโครโฟนคอนเดนเซอร์

Spared no expense

For United Studio Technologies, only the best will do. This is why countless vintage U-87-style microphones were collected, dating back over 50 years to some of the earliest models available, tested and examined with painstaking detail. Under a microscope, these microphones were analysed for parts, performance and sound quality with the aim of replicating the best aspects of each to create the perfect vintage 87-style microphone available.

Not limiting the search to vintage models, modern production models were also exhaustively analysed to gain a better understanding of how the microphone has developed throughout the decades. Armed with extensive knowledge, United Studio Technologies set to work to create the definitive 87-style microphone, the UT TWIN87, taking the best of old and new.

Dual topology design

Taking on board the unique character and sound quality differences of the modern and vintage iterations of the legendary microphone, the UT TWIN87 needed a way to accurately portray these sounds. Straying away from using a simple EQ curve to correct for any frequency differences, the UT TWIN87 makes use of a dual circuit topology design to achieve this difficult feat.

Switchable via the onboard toggle, the UT TWIN87 enables you to switch between modern and vintage voicing on the fly to find the sound that’s right for your production, mix and instrument. Vintage mode polarises the K87-style capsule directly from your source of phantom power, engaging the dual backplate into the circuit. In line with the best vintage examples that were scoured during research and development, this mode will enable the UT TWIN87 to create a soft and forgiving tone that’s ideal for delicate female vocals, dynamic piano performances and even orchestral strings.

Switching to the modern mode, the UT TWIN87 utilises the onboard JFET oscillator to feed a hotter signal directly to the amp circuit. Typical of modern 87-style microphones, this hotter signal delivers a punchier and louder sound, jumping out of your speakers and taking the foreground of your mix. Ideal for powerful rock vocalists, blistering electric guitar cabinets or for punchy room microphone sounds on a drumkit, the modern mode is ideal for contemporary producers and mixing engineers that require extra attack in your sound.
