A LEGACY MIC — MINUS THE LEGACY PRICE.

The UT Vintage87 gives everyone the sound and essence of one of the most in-demand microphone designs of all time. The UT Vintage87 features the same component selection and build quality of the UT Twin87 streamlined to a single, fixed true cardioid pattern. To make UT Vintage87 accessible, we simply stripped away several features from the UT Twin87 that some users may not need — no other cost-cutting measures were implemented. UT Vintage87 delivers instant gratification that works every time.

The UT Vintage87 features United’s 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 hand-selected, premium components such as polystyrene, tantalum, multilayer ceramic, and WIMA film capacitors, metal and carbon film resistors, and hand-selected transistors.

The legendary sounds of your favorite records and films are now yours — minus the legendary price tag.

A CUSTOM UNITED UT-K87 CAPSULE.

In order to match the robust, versatile, and well-balanced sound of the classic, we used our own custom-made K87-style, dual diaphragm/single backplate capsule. It’s an efficient circuit built from top-of-the-line components for pure and uncompromising sound quality. 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.

A CUSTOM UNITED TRANSFORMER.

United looked at many iterations of the original German output transformer used in this type of microphone, drawing particular inspiration 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 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. The transformer sounds open, with high headroom, and a clear, three dimensional sound — and will never impede low frequencies.

United’s custom-wound, US made transformer is built with large, all nickel laminations. They could have used a smaller or less expensive transformer; they simply refused to compromise.

IT’S NOT JUST ANOTHER MIC —  IT’S A UNITED.

The classic original mic’s pattern-select circuitry is excluded from the UT Vintage87, yielding a hotter, more pure, and cleaner true-cardioid response. A switchable output filter blocks RF and EM interference.

In the case of the UT Vintage87, “Vintage” means timeless—not “old.” Based on the R&D of the UT Twin87, UT Vintage87 is built to a timeless standard for timeless sounds; including many high-end components more commonly found in boutique offerings. Now everyone has access to one of the world’s most renowned quality microphones.

Definitely worth the price
Size: 6.5, Color: Black/Black
Absolutely love these boots! I originally bought them to wear in NYC in December & they did not disappoint. They were comfortable, cute, durable and worked well in the slush/snow. The traction on the bottom is also nice! They kept me warm with wool socks. I wear them almost daily now. Perfect for everyday. easy to wear with variety of outfits. Good every day shoe.

Snagged a deal
Size: 7, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
I waited and waited to get these boots! I knew I was chancing it, but they went on sale, and I snagged them! I am a size 7, and they fit nicely with socks. a little loose, barefooted, but what psycho wears boots without socks? They are comfortable and really well-made.

Cute, comfortable waterproof boots (a little snug to put on)
Size: 7, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
These are really cute Chelsea-style boots and feel very comfortable once they’re on. The waterproof material is great for wet weather and the sole feels sturdy with good traction. They look stylish enough to wear casually but still feel practical for rainy days. The only downside is they can be a little difficult to put on at first because the opening is somewhat snug, but once they’re on they fit well and feel supportive. Overall they’re a great waterproof boot and I’ve enjoyed wearing them.

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.
