United Studio Technologies 'UT Tube67': A Modern Tribute to a Classic Microphone
United Studio Technologies, the American studio microphone manufaturer, has recently unveiled the 'UT Tube67', a large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone that faithfully revives the sound of one of the most sought-after microphone designs in recording history. Known for its silky, velvety tone and smooth top end, the UT Tube67 captures the original's spirit while offering subtle refinements that suit the demands of today's modern studios.
At its core, the UT Tube67 features a NOS EF86 pentode vacuum tube, delivering the classic warmth and intimacy that made vintage microphones of this type legendary. With a linear response across multiple polar patterns, the microphone provides remarkable versatility, excelling on a wide range of sources including vocals, acoustic instruments, strings, woodwinds, brass, piano, drums, and both acoustic and electric guitars. A switchable AIR MOD adds further tonal options inspired by the preferences of classic recordists.
The authenticity of the UT Tube67 is reinforced by its carefully chosen custom components. The UT K67 capsule, historically accurate with a dual backplate design and 24k gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragm, produces a natural sound free from harsh resonances. A custom-wound UT-BV 12 transformer, built in the U.S. with high-nickel alloy laminations and a copper Faraday shield, delivers tight bass response while minimizing noise. Premium build details, such as a custom Sommer Octave 7-pin cable and a regulated power supply, reflect United Studio Technologies' meticulous engineering and quality control, with final testing and packing handled at their U.S. headquarters.
More than just a reproduction, the UT Tube67 stands as a personal homage to a true recording icon. By combining uncompromising design standards with boutique-quality components, United Studio Technologies has crafted a micophone that retains the timeless character engineers love, while delivering the reliability and consistency that modern professionals require.
