United extensively measured component values and types, and circuit differences between ‘golden reference’ specimens of the very earliest available microphones of this style, as well as some of the final revisions produced. These variations were studied, documented, and their audible differences were carefully teased out. No mere ‘EQ\/boost’ circuit or digital gimmick would cut it — the UT Twin87 literally toggles between two discrete ‘87 style circuit topologies, separated by nearly half a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Vintage mode, the UT Twin87 polarises its capsule directly by phantom power voltages, taking advantage of an insulated, dual backplate capsule design — just as the earliest \"87-style\" microphones did. The high-Z and de-emphasis circuitry use all of the same component choices as the original. This yields a slightly warmer, softer and forgiving sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Modern mode, the capsule is polarised 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. Its high-Z and de-emphasis circuitry likewise use all of the same component choices as much later “87-style” designs. This yields a louder, slightly brighter and more articulate response, with an extended top end reach and a more ‘up-front’ character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Custom United UT K87 Capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UT Twin 87 features United's own custom-made K87 style, dual diaphragm\/dual backplate capsule.  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\u003eIn Vintage Mode, the capsule is polarised simply by normal phantom power voltages (+48v, optimal), and utilises an insulated backplate design to polarise the front and back sides separately.  In Modern Mode, the capsule backplates are connected, and the polarisation voltage is raised (slowly, and gently) up to about 63 volts using a specially designed boost circuit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom United Transformers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnited looked at many iterations of the original German output transformer used in this type of microphone, drawing inspiration particularly 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 part truly 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.

With two different custom transformers for two unique sonic fingerprints and all of the gain you need, the Replay Box raises the bar for all recordists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTwo Transformers For Two Different Voicing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eReplay Box features two independent reamplification circuits: Transparent and Harmonic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Transparent circuit\u003c\/b\u003e features our custom-wound, US-made, 5043 step up transformer, which provides extraordinary signal isolation and noise rejection for mastering-grade quality. It accepts your balanced or unbalanced line level input signal to deliver an absolutely clean, isolated, unbalanced output capable of driving any amp, pedal, or processor. Because the transformer is wound to have passive gain, it has about 3 dB of additional gain on tap above its already +4 dB rated input from your DAW or recorder. No active circuitry or other components are involved — you get the cleanest gain available on any re-amplification device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Harmonic circuit \u003c\/b\u003eis for those who desire a bit more coloration or fattening in the re-amp stage. Harmonic mode engages an alternate transformer specifically designed to add character. This transformer is wound to offer a steeper gain ratio alongside a very gentle rolling-off of the uppermost high frequencies. It adds both harmonic and phase distortion in the sub-bass region, fattening the low mids and delivering a more aggressive and warmer tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAll The Pure Transformer Gain\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAll the pure transformer gain you could ever want for re-amping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Replay Box was designed from the ground up to solve the two most common problems found in re-amping: noise and low gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen re-amping, any and all unwanted noise is re-amplified alongside the desired musical content.
