PRA 628 MKII : Good budget

I have used this mic many times at local venues with good results.

I've even used it side by side with the Sennheiser 906. And although there was a slight difference in sound when, directly, comparing the two, it was perfectly acceptable and nothing a bit of EQ couldn't sort out. If you wanted them to sound the same. In fact, I even thought it sounded better on that gig. Of course, there are many other factors to consider there, mic placement, P A System, guitar amp, musical style etc..

It is larger ( depth ) than I had expected. Though it doesn't really make any difference when hanging in front of an amp.

I would recommend. I doubt it has the durability of the sennheisers etc, but at the price there is no complaints! You could buy 4 of these for 1 sennheiser..
