What type of mic do you use?

My gf is organising a musical talent contest for amnesty
international and needs to get a (not overly expensive)
microphone that will be used in a pub linked to an average
quality PA system. The quality doesn't have to be superb,
but it shouldn't sound awful either.
What sort of frequency response range do I need to get and
can you point me in the direction of any particular models?

Any ideas on a cheap mic stand as well?

Cheers.

Just get 'm to shout mate. It'll be cheaper and more fun.

Christ! You associate with Amnesty?! I'll be on the phone to
the chair of Barry Conservative Party ASAP to let them know
they've a closet commie fag in their ranks.

Sorry, I'm spamming.

No, it was the Bristol "Conservative Future" (or "Hitler
Youth" as they're affectionately termed by more liberal
Bristonians) I was associated with. Admitting to being
conservative in Barry is asking for a kicking...

As I've said, I'm an "ethical" capitalist, I believe work
tha tbenefits others should be rewarded and not greed.

When I said "not overly expensive" I meant less than £50,
not under £300!

get microphones made by Shure...

their BETA series is prolly the best price vs. features out
there...

a good vocal mic from them would be the Beta 58A... $159
usd... but hey, IT'S A FUCKING GREAT MIC!

oh... *under 50 pounds* i'd say the SM58 as well... made by
shure as well...

the frequency response on that mic is 50Hz-15kHz... built in
windscreen and pop filter $99usd

-----------
Or

get a good EV microphone... the N/D267a Dynamic Cardioid

ideal for vocal stuff in live performance ... a lil more
expensive but it's EV... shit load of features!

Get a hands-free one that attatches to your ear, like the
Backstreet Boys.

She managed to hire one & a stand from a local recording
studio at a reduced rate as it was for charity.
