The UT-K87 Capsule: Precision Engineered for Authenticity

At the heart of the UT Vintage87 is United’s custom K87-style capsule, meticulously crafted to achieve the balanced, robust tone of the original German design. Precision-milled from brass and skinned with ultra-thin 6-micron Japanese PET film, each capsule features a 24k gold-sputtered membrane, assembled in a clean-room environment to ensure absolute consistency and purity. The result? Smooth top end, honest midrange, and detailed low-end accuracy across all applications.

A Custom US-Made Transformer for True Vintage Weight

To capture the depth, openness, and dynamic authenticity of the classic microphone lineage, United designed a custom-wound American transformer with nearly four times the metal mass of standard 87-style microphones. Built with large nickel laminations, this transformer preserves low-frequency extension, prevents bottlenecking, and maintains a three-dimensional character even over long cable runs. This is where much of the mic’s “vintage soul” comes from.

True-Cardioid for a Cleaner, Hotter, More Focused Sound

Unlike multi-pattern variants, the UT Vintage87 eliminates the pattern-selection circuitry, resulting in a cleaner signal path, lower noise, and higher sensitivity. The mic’s true-cardioid polar pattern is intentionally voiced to be slightly hotter and purer than traditional originals – making it a powerful vocal microphone, a reliable broadcast tool, and a flexible instrument mic.

Premium Components for Boutique-Level Performance

The UT Vintage87 is built with components typically reserved for boutique microphones:

• Polystyrene, tantalum, and WIMA capacitors
• Metal and carbon-film resistors
• Hand-selected transistors
• Nickel-plated, solid brass body

This high-end internal architecture ensures long-term reliability and ultra-low self-noise, making the Vintage87 a professional workhorse for nearly any recording environment.
