OK for amplified instruments, percussion etc, for softer acoustic instruments you'll need a really low-noise preamp. IIRC 'LC' means without cable. > (b) Shure SM58 (Though which one: the SM58-LC, SM58-CN or SM58S ?) For close vocals only, and only if you like that type of sound. Certainly not for chamber music. > (c) CAD gxl 2200 large diaphragm condenser $60 Will be the best choice for soft instruments and chamber music (modulo quality of construction and lifetime, for that price you can't expect too much).
