Featuring a custom 24k gold sputtered dual diaphragm capsule, a US-made transformer with quadruple iron mass, and a modular RF filter, this nickel electroplated brass mic delivers clean, articulate sound with low noise and high dynamic range. Designed for professional studios, voiceover, and podcasting, it’s a versatile, durable, and premium-quality microphone built to be a desert-island essential. ## Description The debate is finally over. 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. The UT Twin87 features our 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 selected, premium components such as polystyrene, tantalum, multilayer ceramic, WIMA film capacitors, metal and carbon film resistors, and hand-selected transistors. Vintage, or modern? The UT Twin87 finally ends the debate with a new answer — both. The UT Twin87 offers authentic sonic capabilities of both “87-style” microphones in one package. 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. 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. ## Features - Modern / Vintage switch isn’t just some gimic, or voice-trickery — the entire circuit reconfigures itself to the original specifications, and energizes the capsule to the same specifications. - Custom United 24k gold sputtered dual diaphragm/dual backplate K87 style capsule. - Custom wound, American-made United transformer with 4x the iron mass of “other 87s”. - The only “87-style” microphone that has options to engage/disengage it’s RF filter — a modular approach that captures both versions of the classic, as well as combinations inbetween! - True-cardiod mod built right in; the very same modifcation done to vintage microphones by the most demanding of engineers, without sacrificing polar pattern selection. - Absolute workhorse, a desert-island microphone for professional studios and voiceover work. - Clean, clear, articulate, open sound. Low noise and high headroom and dynamic range. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Antenna Location | Audio Production, Narration, Podcasting, Recording, Recording instruments, Recording vocals, Singing, Studio Production | | Asin | B09Z35FW2Z | | Audible Noise | 20 db | | Best Sellers Rank | #71,416 in Musical Instruments (See Top 100 in Musical Instruments) #680 in Multipurpose Condenser Microphones | | Brand | United Studio Technologies | | Built In Media | Microphone | | Color | Nickel | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Speaker, Amplifier, Recording Device | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (9) 3.9 out of 5 stars | | Enclosure Material | Nickel electroplated, solid milled brass | | Frequency Range | 20-22Khz | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Hardware Platform | Karaoke Machine | | Impedance | 27 ohm | | Item Dimensions | 18.1 x 7.15 x 6.35 inches | | Item Type Name | Studio Microphone | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | United Studio Technologies | | Mfr Part Number | UTTWIN87 | | Microphone Form Factor | Large Diaphragm | | Model Name | UTTWIN87 | | Model Number | UTTWIN87 | | Number Of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | 48v phantom power | | Signal To Noise Ratio | 87 db | | Special Feature | Dual Circuit, RF Filter | | Upc | 753459780565 | | Warranty Description | 2-Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** United Studio Technologies - **Color:** Nickel - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer, Speaker, Amplifier, Recording Device - **Connectivity Technology:** XLR - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Included Components:** Microphone - **Model Name:** UTTWIN87 - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Video Conference - **Special Feature:** Dual Circuit, RF Filter ## Images ![UT Twin87 Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic w/Shockmount - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vpAcwDG6L.jpg) ![UT Twin87 Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic w/Shockmount - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jXlQdw0cL.jpg) ![UT Twin87 Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic w/Shockmount - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RXmkFy-LL.jpg) ![UT Twin87 Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic w/Shockmount - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NZ4AFiQ1L.jpg) ![UT Twin87 Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic w/Shockmount - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dQtl2T4yL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm a bit surprised *by on Reviewed in the United States November 11, 2023* My first impression? All in all a really nice little mic. It really gets stunningly close to a real 87 in it's sound - especially in the vintage mode - for about 1/6th of the price. I purchased this mic as kind of an impulse buy; half expecting to dump on it and take advantage of the easy returns to send it back. My motivation for choosing it was that I really just needed a utility mic around the studio for the kind of things that would be probably be buried in the back of the mix anyway. Something quick and easy to work with and not too pricey - but hopefully a little musical - as opposed to the sterility you often hear in lower cost mass produced LDC mics. I didn't particularly care if it could impersonate an 87 accurately or not; as long as it sounded ok. Clones can always be a bit of a mixed bag; it's best not to expect too much. It was better than ok, though...a lot better. My first setup I put it on an acoustic guitar and ran it through an AML ez1081 straight through my interface and instantly recognized the sound from countless 1970s recordings. Any notions I had of dumping on this mic went straight out the window.The only real, noticeable difference I hear between the United and a real 87 is maybe just a tiny bit more low freq. proximity effect in the non-cardioid settings on the United - something that the HPF more than adequately compensates for. The HP filter is really user friendly; it seem to clear up the mud in a very natural and musical way. All of the polar patterns sound very smooth, with no weird spikes in the frequency response and a surprisingly sweet high frequency signature that's very reminiscent of older Neumann 87s.My only real gripe with it is that it only comes with a full shock mount, but no smaller swivel mount.So far these are fairly preliminary observations; I have yet to see how a bunch of them will stack up in a mix, but I was satisfied with the sound enough to order a second. ### ⭐ FamilyTech Scam *by on Reviewed in the United States April 21, 2026* This is not for the mic, this is for the seller FamilyTech. They are trying to scam me for a $300 restocking fee claiming I caused heavy scratches and dents when it was used for one sesh by myself. Never dropped, scratched or thrown around the room like the pictures look like it did. Used once then back in the box because it didnt sound good on my voice. Be careful shopping with this seller. Mic sounded ok just not suited for my voice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Vintage 87 / Modern 87ai Clones in ONE MIC *by on Reviewed in the United States June 15, 2024* Mic used in a home studio context. I've run some tests, and both the modern and vintage settings are very useful. Heavily built, so I do not anticipate any durability issues. The shape of the integrated windscreen differs from an actual 87 (more cylindrical) and some will complain that it therefore may not have exactly the same sound characteristics as the real thing, but my opinion is that it still sounds excellent.ADDENDUM:I bought this mic two years ago. It is still one of the best large diaphragm mics for the money you can buy, because it really is two mics: a vintage U87 and a modern U87ai. I will eventually buy a second one and use them as a stereo pair. They are built like tanks.And the Twin87 comes with a surprise: when you get one, open it up and use the dip switches inside to engage the RF filter. Not because it has any RF interference problems, but because it improves the mic’s character in both vintage and modern modes. There are lots of YT videos on this, so look it up if you don’t believe the claims of an anonymous Amazon reviewer.The Twin87’s main competitor at this price point is the Dachman DA87se. If all you want is to do is record vocals and want vintage warmth and character, that one is hard to beat. But if you want to choose different polar patterns, and want to be able to toggle from vintage warmth to modern clarity with a simple flick of a switch, the UST Twin87 is an incredible value and the clear winner. ## Frequently Bought Together - United Studio Technologies - UT Twin 87 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium Short XLR to XLR Cables - 3ft, Male to Female Microphone Cable, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Mic Cord, Black - InnoGear Microphone Stand, Tripod Boom Arm Floor Mic Stand Height Adjustable Heavy Duty with Carrying Bag 2 Mic Clips 3/8" to 5/8" Adapter for Singing Podcast for Blue Yeti Shure SM58 SM48 Samson Q2U --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/470943423-ut-twin87-large-diaphragm-condenser-mic-w-shockmount](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/470943423-ut-twin87-large-diaphragm-condenser-mic-w-shockmount) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
