The United Studio UT Vintage87 Microphone is a true-cardioid studio microphone that delivers classic 87-style tone with a cleaner, hotter signal path. Its custom capsule and oversized American-made transformer provide legendary sound, high headroom, and low noise at an exceptional value!
The United Studio UT Vintage87 Microphone captures the character and vibe of one of the most sought-after studio microphones in history, offering a refined, focused sound that’s accessible to more creators than ever. Built from the proven foundation of the UT Twin87, the UT Vintage87 captures that unmistakable vintage character in a true-cardioid design that simply works on anything you put in front of it. By removing pattern-select circuitry, United achieved a hotter, cleaner signal path with improved signal-to-noise performance, giving you a more immediate, detailed sound right out of the box. From vocals and acoustic instruments to voiceover and broadcast, this is a microphone that instantly sounds like a finished record. It features a switchable -10 db Pad and an 80 Hz High Pass Filter.
At the heart of the UT Vintage87 is United’s uncompromising component design, starting with the custom UT-K87 capsule - precision-milled from brass, skinned with ultra-thin Japanese PET film, and finished with a 24k gold-sputtered diaphragm in a laboratory clean-room environment. That capsule feeds a massive, American-made custom transformer with nearly four times the metal mass of typical 87-style designs, delivering exceptional headroom, extended low-frequency response, and a wide, three-dimensional sound that stays open and clear even on long cable runs. Add premium, hand-selected components and a switchable RF filter, and you get a low-noise, high-headroom microphone built to boutique standards. The UT Vintage87 isn’t just another “87-style” mic - it’s a desert-island workhorse that delivers legendary tone, modern reliability, and undeniable value.
