We do live vocals in the control room on a pretty regular basis... we have large mains which we crank... don't bother the with "mono/phase filp" bullshit as it makes my head spin when I'm sitting at the desk.

Most often we'll use an SM-7b... but we've used all kinds of condenser mics as well... from Telefunken USA M-16's to Brauner VMX's without a struggle.

The one thing you need to do is pick a monitor volume and stick with it. That way if you need to do vocal punches the bleed from the backing tracks stays even.

Best of luck with it.
