The C1 can be a good mic for some vocalist... good luck.

The U47 can be a good mic for some vocalists. No one mic sounds good on every source.
Now that we're done damning with faint praise, enjoy your purchase Prag_B. IMO, you'll enjoy it quite a bit, and in a pinch you can always use it to bludgeon naysayers.

It's really not that big a deal. Just buy what you think you'll like, try it, and sell it if you don't like it. It's not like we're talking about loosing a lot of money, and it's a great way to learn about what mics we do like. Sheesh! I've bought and sold so much stuff, it'd make your head spin!

Just when you thought the thread was finished..!
Sorry to drag the thread further, but I'm also seriously considering the SP C1 (along with other mics in the same range: MXLV69, MXL2003, AT4040....) -- several of you said the mic you choose depends on the voice. I know it's still a shot in the dark, but I'll ask anyway: Which mic (in the same price range) would you use for a singer with a style and sound close to that of the lead singer in Incubus? And how about Coldplay? (I realize they're two very, _very_ different voices...!)
Thanks for your help!

That dude in Coldplay is tracked through the wrong mic. He sounds like the "S" king. I love the stuff but he needs a different mic.
Anyhow, of the mics you name, I personally think the AT mic is a better quality mic. But, it doesn't make it the best mic for a particular voice.
If you've got great preamps, then you might look at a Shure SM7.

The Octava 319 is a good sound for that guy too.
