The UT Twin48 is a meticulously engineered tube microphone, combining two of the most revered classic tube microphone designs into a single, versatile unit. Capturing the sonic character of legendary microphones from the late ‘40s and ‘50s, the UT Twin48 delivers a rich, detailed, and harmonically complex sound that remains essential for professional studios and discerning recording engineers.

Capture the Sound of Legends

Designed for critical recording applications, the UT Twin48 features a large diaphragm condenser microphone architecture with a 6-micron gold-sputtered diaphragm, ensuring exceptional transient response and nuanced detail. At its core, a hand-selected EF86 pentode vacuum tube drives the amplifier stage, delivering the warmth, depth, and harmonic richness expected from the finest vintage-style microphones.

With Twin Mode, the UT Twin48 gives engineers access to two distinct sonic signatures—each reflecting the tonal character of a different historical classic. Whether capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, or room ambience, this microphone provides unmatched flexibility and fidelity.
