I need to kill a lot of birds with one stone! Need suggestions for alternatives to Shure PG81 - a little cheaper, maybe. Needs to be battery as well as phantom power capable and I'll occasionally use an in-line transformer to run it through a guitar amp if I don't want to carry a mixer, etc. around. This will be used for solo acoustic (steel string & classical) guitar in small venues. Would rather use a condenser but maybe an SM57 would be a better choice?
