Sm-57

Honestly, I'm in a little bit of a rush. I have a gig in a week, I'm leaving for the weekend, and I need a microphone for vocals. I've been looking at condenser mics for studio work, but will I absolutely be disappointed with the extra noise coming through the mic live? Do I need a dynamic?

Thanks a lot everyone!

You don't want a condenser for live work, unless it is acoustic stuff. If you have to get above a band, grab a senn 835, 845 or such. You will use it in the studio as well as on the road

me hates the 835 for the most part in the studio (that mic has a biting edge to it), but live it is fine, heck, perhaps much better than the 57 (for dull PAs). depending on the system.

i would say, get whatever is cheapest at your nearest pawn shop if you are in a rush. well anything from EV, sennheiser, beyer, shure.. umm. there are probably others... but anyway, they all make some standup dynamic mics.

dont pay more than $50.
