Vocal using a "Fostex", are you crazy?

UHMMM! Things happen when the studio door is closed from public eyes.

Fostex makes Microphone? You better believe it, actually it is the most hidden vintage Mic and great on bass amp and vocal. Especially the vocal!
“The Fostex M11RP microphone is truly a different breed than any other microphone currently available. Fostex was awarded 20 international patents on this unique transducer technology. These special edition microphones are hand-built and available in limited quantities,” according to Fostex Professional Products Director Rick Cannata.
“No phantom power is required and there is no on-board circuitry to create noise,” Mr. Cannata said. “These microphones have the durability of a dynamic element, the clarity of a condenser capsule and the warmth of a ribbon design.” Extremely low distortion is rated at less than 0.2 per cent at 130 dB. Immediate advantages over normal ribbon technology are strength and durability. Ribbon microphones are noted for the fragility of their elements, thereby negating their use for outside applications or high sound pressure level microphone placements. The M11 microphone can endure close percussion or loud amplifier microphone placements (you know, rock singer, bass amp, kick drums...shit like that!) without danger to the capsule.
An additional benefit of the Fostex Printed Ribbon technology is the clarity and sheen of a high-quality condenser microphone, without the need for phantom power. This fact results in an extremely low noise floor due to the elimination of the condenser’s electronic circuitry, which would normally be required.
In the Fostex design, the M11 microphone has a large, low-mass printed ribbon diaphragm, which offers very fast response time, compared with typical heavy dynamic mic capsules. “The resulting smooth upper high end attributed to this ribbon technology can warm up any digital production while maintaining pristine clarity and presence,” Cannata said.

I did used this for making some dude sound more "manly" (pay attention LH) or thicken and warm up a thin digital recorded vocal.

This one belong to me!
