Yup, have the Studio Projects C1 here. It's a cardioid mic. It sounds like a numan u87. If you want the multi pattern version then, go for the C3. It sounds the same as the C1 but, has more positions. Will probably get a set of C3's here at some point.

I think Phil uses or has one, so he might know the exact model... I remember reading about it from a link that he or somebody else provided a while ago.

I'm thinking of purchasing a good quality vocal microphone for myself for studio recording purposes. I hear and read that capasitor or microphones are used these days instead of dynamic microphones and that they use phantom power. I understand those things but now I must purchase a good one. The shops hear don't keep stock of those kind of microphones so it is very difficult to get one to test with. I just wondered what some of you guys are using? I know you get mikes that are very expensive like the numan u87 and so on but I don't have that kind of money haha. I think this can be a gnice discussion. Kind regards Len Viljoen
