Ayyyyee wicked review man! You go far and beyond to give us a closer look at a mic without actually using it in real life by using different preamps and actually going back and forth with the V&M mode. For ur ears, how did u think the UT handled sibilance compared to other Mics?
I agree ..great review thanks. the brandname and clones I relate. I just bought a used United Twin87 with box and shockmount for the price of a neumann/sennheisr shockmount! lol United seems like they are blowing up and will be in the class of GraceDesign, Emperical Labs, Great River....top end product, but without the 100yr old brandname. some great interesting posts below too. RF switch...Im going to try that!
I only have the 737 plugin and I wasn't crazy about it, but I surprisingly used both the 610 a and 610 b on so many sources. Keep in mind it's all been virtual sources. I actually was surprised. Big fan of the trident eq.
@@videntemusic2465 never used the slate before, but I'm not crazy about mics that make digital emulations of other mics. I'd rather just have the real thing, meaning a mic with a tube and transformer, etc
I like the Phoenix audio in vintage on the song vocals, but tuck her in or bring up the track. The Presonus was good as well but needed some sparkle maybe 6 -8 nice slight shelve.
I noticed you have reviewed most mics that I'm interested in. What are your thoughts on the UnitedTwin87 vs the Vanguard V4, Roswell mics and Warm WA87r2? Which of these has the smoothest non harsh/sibilant top end but great clarity?
can't speak on the warm, but if I had to rank them in how well they handle high end it would be Roswell, UT, Vanguard. With that being said none of them I find harsh on the top end
If I'm recording to tape, almost any condenser mic will do, but if I'm recording to a harsh sounding medium, like, protools or cubase, then, it's a tube or a ribbon mic. Condenser mics sound really harsh on protools or cubase without a very high quality tube mic pre to remove the chill.
The rapper I would have chosen the vintage to keep it more in line with the darkness of the track. Just give the guy a bit of a shelve at 8 k. How am I doing?
I've heard great things about the rupert Neve rack. If your going to fill it up with 500 series modules that require a lot of power. Then go with the Neve. If not the API will work fine. Also check the back of each unit to make sure the connections work best for you
I like you think of famous gear (nostalgia basically) as cliche and are interested in doing things different. Or that’s my take at least. It just gets so old w companies copying companies all the time w little innovation.
@@ALAKAI it's a really bright mic. I have some more content coming on it as I have it right now reviewing the front end audio warm audio iconic vocal chain
After having mine for a year now, I have to say, it’s still my favorite mic in my locker 💯💯💯

I think it handles it well, especially for a mic on the brighter side.
Dope video man, keep it up!
Great review Czar!! I think this mic is bad news for Warm. I'm loving what I heard in these examples. 👍🏻👍🏻
I liked the vintage on all of it !

definitely interested to give it a shot, i'm spoiled on vintage 87's they just sound the best.
Love that Avalon
Thanks for your honest review as always. I always use your reviews in deciding what gear I need.
Preciate that!

I’d highly recommend turnin the RF filter on. The sound is actually very very different. Much warmer and full with it switched
I'll give it a shot
Second this. I only use the mic in Vintage Mode with RF filter on now
Hi bro I order the mic yesterday but I have the slate mic you think is better the unite studio?

@@TheAudioCzar ok bro thanks
A new King of mics is here!!!!......
Czar, bro you are killing it with these mic reviews. Help a brother out. Now I’m tossed between this UT87, BV-1 Mk2 and the Lauten Audio Atlantis?
I haven't used the Atlantis, but trust lauten as a brand. If you need the versatility UT87, but BV-1 was my favorite mic of 2022.
I like the Phoenix audio in vintage on the song vocals, but tuck her in or bring up the track. The Presonus was good as well but needed some sparkle maybe 6 -8 nice slight shelve.

would you recommend getting this over a tlm 103 for rap/rnb vocals?
I would, this is more versatile, TLM is cardiod only, no pad, no hpf, no polar patterns. The UT87 gives me all of that plus modern and vintage choice
I'm doing video reply to some comments now th-cam.com/users/shortss6kvDUExLFs?feature=share
Good
hey bro im looking to buy rupert neve 511 , do you prefer api lunchbox for it or rupert neve box

yeh I'm tired of clones, if you want to clone something make it your own or add something new to it
are you still using this mic?
Yes
any feedback on the wa-8000 months later after reviewing?@@TheAudioCzar

This vs your micparts 251 ??😅
251 has way more color and warmth.
im getting a Pimp C clone vibe lol
Wow! Good job on the video. I don't care. For its appearance tho.
It grew on me. I'm glad it's not made to look like a 87
Need to ditch the Avalon. It's a "cliche" piece of gear for rap vocals.
I heard the compressor sucks on the Avalon. Smh. All that money and the compressor stinks? I don't get that. Smh.
