e 835

Good ol' shure sm 58 , or maybe some Sennheiser, the e825 or 835 should do the trick

e835 is great, but A/B with the e935 and it's like taking a blanket off the PA.

Try an SM57 for lead vocals onstage at a small gig. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is. It's a little bit unusual, but I recently made a whole bunch of excellent singers happy that way, and I even had the usual SM58 available for them. One guy, a certifiable old school jazz legend, specifically requested the 57 after seeing it used by someone before him. For the newbies... Branch out from Shure. Spend the same amount though. EV and Sennheiser make great vocal mics that address different vocal styles. I like a Sennheiser e835 for mousy female vocals where a Beta 87 or SM58 would feed back. EV ND series sound pretty good on a guitar amp for hollow body jazz stuff. Grab a cloudlifter and an inline DI-style phantom power source to round out your toolbox. You never know when you're going to need either of those.

I like Sennheiser e835 for vocals, but the 57 is more versatile.

Theres a lot love for shure sm58. Ive been using a sennheiser e835 for years. Mostly meant for live vocals but foes great in an untreated space, good for micing amps as well

I've been using a Sennheiser e835 for over 20 years, which is pretty comparable to an SM 58. Started out for live vocals but works great for podcasting, and instrument micing.
