I think the best you can do is a search for Studio Projects on this forum.

Here is a small clip of the TB1. It is a far cry from Metal Vocals, but, to me, sounds pretty nice for a tenor male. I've not tried the C1.

Most people would never even consider buying a car before at least test driving it. Be smart... no matter what you read, hear or anyone tells you... always audition mics for yourself before buying any (expressly something as personal as your vocal mic)... no matter what make or model it is.Lorde said:

The B3 could be another consideration.
Here's the TB1, B3 and C1 on male vocal:

The only mic that I'd recommend in that price area would be the AT4040 for such diverse things as clean versus metal and male versus female.
The Studio Projects C1 can be a good mic on many male vocals. I've heard lots of good demo vocals tracked with this mic.
The Studio Projects B1 is a good instrument and amp mic.
I think the C4 is an incredible drum overhead mic.

Thanks guys....I appreciate it!
Thanks guys....I listened to those sessions(thanks for the links) and the C1 sounds a bit high end bump, and kinda brash? The B3 wasn't bad? Out of the amp mics, I liked the Beyer 160 the best, and on vocals the AKG 414 B sounded just full! Anyway....thanks again....Lorde
I will test some out hopefuly at guitar center?

YMMV however the two best SP mics on me seemed to be the T3 and B1 in that order, then the C3.

I was at AES yesterday and got to test all the Studio Projects mics....They sounded pretty good....I thought the c1 sounded good, and the TB1 was okay...The B1 was surprisingly good, but I got the hookup on Audio Technica 4040, so I will probably go with that....The c1 seemed a little high end, but it did pick up loads of background noise! But the weird thing about all the Studio Projects mics was that they all sounded similar? I mean even the T3 sounded like the B1 a bit....I think for the money, you are better off buying the low end versions instead of forking out $500 for the t3....just a suggestion. But the AT4040 has a 145 SPL which can handle guitar amps as well....so it seems really well rounded! For many applications! Thanks guys for all the comments! LORDE

This is sound advice (pardon the pun) but I am guilty of buying before trying. I bought the MXL V67G after reading the Big Thread. And I bought two Oktava MK012s for $100/pair because Guitar Center was having a sale (i.e. I bought them because I could).
But I would like to spend an afternoon driving a sales clerk crazy by auditioning every mic available.

Well.. buying a $100 mic is not the same as buying a car...DJL said:
Where I live auditiing every mic before buying is not feasible. Surely one can make an informed decision from searching this forum, I have many times, and other forums as well. Very few mics that I own did I audition before buying and I've never regreted any mic purchase. I've sold several after a short period of ownership, but not because I didn't like the mic, but due to already having it covered with another. I would not have been able to determine this with a store audition.
Auditioning a mic in a store borders on useless. This forum is a huge knowledgebase... use it... you'll gain a lot more insight into a mic from searching here than trying in a store.
BTW, I have a C1. It's an Okay mic... it's worth the cost... consider looking for a mic that will contrast the B1...
