I worked with a new artist the last couple days. She's a soprano but has one of those high and breathy light vocals. I had no idea what was going to work for her so I set up the following:
1) Miktek CV4 with Ari's Flat 47 capsules
2) Wunder CM7GS/M7
3) Audio Technica AT4060
4) Alder Audio H44
I had two other guy artist in last week and the CM7 was the easy winner. Kind of surprising, it was the least favorite by a large margin on her voice. The H44 ribbon was surprisingly ok but had too much lower mids for her. The last two were somewhat more close. Arienne's flat 47 is kind of a unique capsule. Doesn't really sound like a K47. It is what it says; a flat 47. No low mid oomph and no mid push. It's sort of reminds me of a tame CK12, in the broadestsense.
The final verdict...
The AT4060 was chosen by everyone in the studio.i was surprised. I had not found a vocalist that sounded great on it, but she really did. Now it makes me think about a C12 or maybe Bens Phelicity mic. He says it is like a smoother C12, which would make me think it's like a 251.
Anyway, the AT4060 with a Mullard was the winner. In this case it surprised me. Really sounds great. If she is ok about it, I might post the song when it's finished.
