I think that is a real good idea (also audition the mics with as many different sound sources as you can... also, use more than just one preamp and monitoring system if you can)... and have fun too.Patrick3g said:

Thanks for all your help, after auditionings a few mics I went with the at4047 it sounds great and I got for a reduced price since its on closeout.

Yes, I agree, after a long and stressfull search to find the best mic under $700 for my bright and slightly thin voice (several article reveiws, thread mic comparisions, and 2 mic auditions later) I chose the at4047 becuse its extremely crisp & clear while producing a natrual sound with a smooth and warm prescence to my voice.
Although most of the mics I auditioned, and where planning to purchase are a little cheaper then the at4047, I was easily willing to put up the extra $200-$300
Mics I auditioned:
1.) Rode Nt1-A (overall good and versatile but to bright for me and harsh on highs)
2.) Rode Nt1000 (same without the harshness; both pick up everything pretty good )
3.) Audio Technica at3035 (great, nice presence, crisp but not as natrual and live as thier 40 line)
4.) Akg C-2000B ( to muddy for my voice)
5.) Akg C-3000B ( same)
6.) Shure Ksm27/sl (surprisingly great definitly holds its own but not as natrual or warm as the 4047)
7.) Audio Technica at4040 (as with the 3035 its a really great mic but the 4047 is just that much better with an overall similar sound.)
I would recomend the at4047 to anyone with a mid to high voice who desires more prescence doing rap,r&b, and even rock vocals on a tight budget.
