Whether you’re producing the most tone-savvy musician or experimenting with sound design, the Replay Box performs on a level all of its own — with an ultra-quiet design and flexible tone voicing. With two different custom transformers for two unique sonic fingerprints and all of the gain you need, the Replay Box raises the bar for all recordists.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eTWO TRANSFORMERS FOR TWO DIFFERENT VOICINGS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eReplay Box features two independent reamplification circuits: Transparent and Harmonic.  The Transparent circuit features a custom-wound, US-made, 5043 step up transformer, which provides extraordinary signal isolation and noise rejection for mastering-grade quality. It accepts your balanced or unbalanced line level input signal to deliver an absolutely clean, isolated, unbalanced output capable of driving any amp, pedal, or processor. Because the transformer is wound to have passive gain, it has about 3 dB of additional gain on tap above its already +4 dB rated input from your DAW or recorder. No active circuitry or other components are involved — you get the cleanest gain available on any re-amplification device.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Harmonic circuit is for those who desire a bit more coloration or fattening in the re-amp stage. Harmonic mode engages an alternate transformer specifically designed to add character. This transformer is wound to offer a steeper gain ratio alongside a very gentle rolling-off of the uppermost high frequencies. It adds both harmonic and phase distortion in the sub-bass region, fattening the low mids and delivering a more aggressive and warmer tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eALL THE PURE TRANSFORMER GAIN YOU COULD EVER WANT FOR RE-AMPING\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Replay Box was designed from the ground up to solve the two most common problems found in re-amping: noise and low gain.  When re-amping, any and all unwanted noise is re-amplified alongside the desired musical content. Unfortunately, most re-amp boxes on the market add some degree of noise and coloration to the signal, making it harder to achieve a satisfying result. Furthermore, most re-amp boxes also do not provide enough gain to drive an amp well, meaning engineers need to rely on boost or preamp pedals… which in turn add additional noise, distortion, and unwanted character.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnited designed the Replay Box to provide more clean gain than you’ll ever need, without ever needing to add a noise-inducing preamp or boost pedal. And its true ground isolation further ensures you won’t be plagued by ground-loop hum while re-amping.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eINDUSTRY-PROVEN BEFORE LAUNCH DAY\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now, this dual-transformer design was never commercially available, and only existed in the hands of a few. Replay Box is the culmination of two decades of experimentation and user feedback from early adopters of Chad Kelly’s early hand-made reamplification boxes. These early units became the secret weapons of top industry engineers the world over… and over the years, their insights refined the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eOutside of its fantastic internal design, the Replay Box also sports an aluminum chassis that’s built not only for the rigors of the road, but for facing hard-to-impress studio clientele.

Several original transformers were measured to accurately reproduce their winding ratios, bobbin and magnet wire type, and lamination style. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnited spent years exploring many versions of this design, experimenting with different winding ratios and alloys; they ultimately settled on a high-nickel lamination and a winding ratio very close to the classics that inspired us. The result: United’s US-made 5078 — one of the largest transformers you’ll find in a DI. It delivers a pristine low-noise signal, wide frequency response, extraordinary headroom, and outstanding noise rejection. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eFLEXIBLE OPTIONS WITH AUDIOPHILE-GRADE COMPONENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnited decided that nothing would come between the transformer and source that could rob tone or add noise. Most passive DI boxes use smaller, unshielded transformers reliant on resistor pads, volume pots, and RC network filters before the signal hits the transformer. Vintage Direct has none of it. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, level tailoring in the Vintage Direct is built into the transformer taps of its output, which is far more tolerant of adjustment without affecting tone. Vintage Direct uses three different secondary winding configurations in conjunction with a precision resistor T-pad output attenuator for six evenly-spaced output level settings. True ground isolation mitigates ground-loop hum while tracking. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnited built a large, well-shielded transformer that can take any line- or instrument-level signal without risking overload. It wasn’t cheap, but it ensures pinnacle performance and the highest preservation of tone. Custom audio-grade resistors are made (in the USA) for United by PRP — a component provider for NASA.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eIT’S NOT JUST ANOTHER DI BOX — IT’S A UNITED\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe most exceptional passive DI box built in decades, The Vintage Direct sports an aluminum, road-worthy chassis that will survive a tour and still impress studio clientele when it gets back home.

Whether you’re producing the most tone-savvy musician or experimenting with sound design, the Replay Box performs on a level all of its own — with an ultra-quiet design and flexible tone voicing.

The Transparent circuit features a custom-wound, US-made, 5043 step up transformer, which provides extraordinary signal isolation and noise rejection for mastering-grade quality. It accepts your balanced or unbalanced line level input signal to deliver an absolutely clean, isolated, unbalanced output capable of driving any amp, pedal, or processor. Because the transformer is wound to have passive gain, it has about 3 dB of additional gain on tap above its already +4 dB rated input from your DAW or recorder. No active circuitry or other components are involved — you get the cleanest gain available on any re-amplification device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Harmonic circuit is for those who desire a bit more coloration or fattening in the re-amp stage. Harmonic mode engages an alternate transformer specifically designed to add character. This transformer is wound to offer a steeper gain ratio alongside a very gentle rolling-off of the uppermost high frequencies. It adds both harmonic and phase distortion in the sub-bass region, fattening the low mids and delivering a more aggressive and warmer tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eALL THE PURE TRANSFORMER GAIN YOU COULD EVER WANT FOR RE-AMPING\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Replay Box was designed from the ground up to solve the two most common problems found in re-amping: noise and low gain.  When re-amping, any and all unwanted noise is re-amplified alongside the desired musical content. Unfortunately, most re-amp boxes on the market add some degree of noise and coloration to the signal, making it harder to achieve a satisfying result. Furthermore, most re-amp boxes also do not provide enough gain to drive an amp well, meaning engineers need to rely on boost or preamp pedals… which in turn add additional noise, distortion, and unwanted character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnited designed the Replay Box to provide more clean gain than you’ll ever need, without ever needing to add a noise-inducing preamp or boost pedal.

In Vintage mode, the UT Twin87 polarizes its capsule directly by phantom power voltages, taking advantage of an insulated, dual backplate capsule design — just as the earliest “87-style” microphones did. The high-Z and de-emphasis circuitry use all of the same component choices as the original. This yields a slightly warmer, softer, and forgiving sound. In Modern mode, the capsule is polarized at a higher voltage using a FET oscillator circuit as found on later revisions of the classic mic, yielding a higher capsule sensitivity and feeding a hotter signal into the amplifier circuitry. Its high-Z and de-emphasis circuitry likewise use all of the same component choices as much later “87-style” designs.

This part truly 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.

Rather than operate in active (switched) cardioid mode as per the standard design, the UT Twin87 will disengage the pattern select circuitry altogether and decouple from the rear diaphragm of the capsule. This yields a cardioid function that is slightly hotter, purer, and boasts a better signal-to-noise ratio.
