Today 'cheap' general-purpose mics tend to be electrets - simple electret capsules can be mass-produced much cheaper than dynamic ones. Dynamic mics, at least good ones, tend to be specialised for vocal use, while ribbons dominate the high-quality non-condenser niche. I'd avoid anything called Behringer, and go for example for some of the cheaper AKG electrets. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ?
