I don't know what mics you have already, or if you plan on buying more mics after this one, but the 4050 should be on your list if you can afford it. In my experience, it is just a little "un-exciting" to my ears on vocals, but I have used it in the past in that manner. It's pretty flat, like a 414, so it doesn't really give much coloration for vocals, but that may be what you're after. Is this for your vocals only, or for a whole mess of different people's vocals?
