Vocal mics that match well with the RNP...

Well ?

Well ?

To achieve what?

A friend of mine got an RNP & RNC, said it somewhat tamed the highs in his C1, so he's happy with that.

A decent vocal.

I hear people say a Neumann U87 matches well with a Avalon 737 or a SM-57 matches well with an API i'm just looking for a comparison like that with the RNP.

Still doesn't mean much. What I might call decent you might call crap.

Once you're talking this level of equipment, it probably makes a difference. Lower down the chain, ie, RNP territory, you want something clean and useable. Having said that, with great respect to Harvey Gerst, you might find this helpful www.mojopie.com/rnp.html

Basically, any mic that's good, and well-matched to the source.

If the mic sounds like crap, then the RNP isn't going to put any magic fairy dust on it and all of a sudden make it sound good.

And if the mic sounds great, I highly doubt the RNP is going to do anything to wreck the sound. And basically, being a solid but mostly transparent mic pre (comparatively speaking), it's not like it's going to impart some huge sonic stamp of it's own.
