When the most demanding recording engineer needs the very best, the Vintage Direct delivers massive sound from its massive transformer.

The design of Vintage Direct was inspired by the earliest hand-wired DI boxes, such as the Wolfbox and Bruce Swedien’s Bass Box, both of which used massive early transformers made by Triad, UTC, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur research began with the UTC A12 transformer, first manufactured in the early ‘60s. Several original transformers were measured to accurately reproduce their winding ratios, bobbin and magnet wire type, and lamination style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe spent years exploring many versions of this design, experimenting with different winding ratios and alloys; we ultimately settled on a high-nickel lamination and a winding ratio very close to the classics that inspired us. The result: United’s US-made 5078 — one of the largest transformers you’ll find in a DI. It delivers a pristine low-noise signal, wide frequency response, extraordinary headroom, and outstanding noise rejection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible options with audiophile-grade components.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe decided that nothing would come between the transformer and source that could rob tone or add noise. Most passive DI boxes use smaller, unshielded transformers reliant on resistor pads, volume pots, and RC network filters before the signal hits the transformer. Vintage Direct has none of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, level tailoring in the Vintage Direct is built into the transformer taps of its output, which is far more tolerant of adjustment without affecting tone. Vintage Direct uses three different secondary winding configurations in conjunction with a precision resistor T-pad output attenuator for six evenly-spaced output level settings. True ground isolation mitigates ground-loop hum while tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe built a large, well-shielded transformer that can take any line- or instrument-level signal without risking overload. It wasn’t cheap, but it ensures pinnacle performance and the highest preservation of tone.

PRICE.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\u0026amp;nbsp;accessible, we 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UT Vintage87 features United’s 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 hand-selected, premium components such as polystyrene, tantalum, multilayer ceramic, and WIMA film capacitors, metal and carbon film resistors, and hand-selected transistors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe legendary sounds of your favorite records and films are now yours — \u003cem\u003eminus\u003c\/em\u003e the legendary price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA CUSTOM UNITED UT-K87 CAPSULE.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to match the robust, versatile, and well-balanced sound of the classic, we used our 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA CUSTOM UNITED TRANSFORMER.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnited 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 the size of a transformer can sometimes be a limiting factor, United developed their own custom-wound part 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnited’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIT’S NOT JUST ANOTHER MIC —  IT’S A UNITED.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\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\u003eCapsule Sensitivity: -34dB @ 60v\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar Pattern: Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPL: 117 dB (127 dB w\/ Pad) @ \u0026lt;.5% THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 27 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Connector: 24k gold plated XLR, pin 2 HOT, pin 1 GND\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\u003eHigh Pass Filter: 80hZ (12dB down point)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad: -10dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Nickel electroplated, solid milled brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Suspension type shock mount (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround: Pin 1 XLR (required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Input: 48v Phantom Power (via XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (Microphone)\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 220 mm \/ 8.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 55 mm \/ 2.2″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShockmount Depth: 118 mm \/ 4.64″ - 178mm \/ 7″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"United Studio Technologies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43931905720399,"sku":"UT VINTAGE87","price":599.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/files\/United-UTVintage87-FrontwShockmount.png?v=1765376473"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/collections\/United_Studio_Technologies.webp?v=1732215673","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/collections\/united-studio-technologies.oembed","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
