Personally I'd favour a good quality secondhand condenser mic - probably
ex broadcast, etc. Something like a Neumann KM 84, AKG C451, Calrec CM101.
But they might be hard to find. But there are plenty of cheap new Chinese
condensers which will sound far better than an SM58 for this - and cost
about the same. Sadly I'm not well up on those so perhaps someone else
could give a recommendation.
