The UT Twin87 captures the essence of both the original classic and modern incarnations of the “87-style” microphone design. 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.
- Offers the authentic sonic capabilities of both "87-style" microphones in one package
- In Vintage mode, it polarizes its capsule directly by phantom power voltages, taking advantage of an insulated, dual backplate capsule design
- In 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
- Features United's own custom-made K87 style, dual diaphragm/dual backplate capsule
