Electro voice. Good suggestion, Mac. I'm not in the 'overpowering' class of horn players like those you cite, but any trumpet can damage some mics.

Here's a related story. My wife has certain mics that engineers like to use on her voice, after lots of trying out in A/B tests. But one time, she was doing a song where she really hauled out and belted, not at all like her normal voice, and the engineer used a mic he usually uses on rock drums! Moral of the story is that even the same person may benefit from different mics, depending on the sound and style. This is why any engineer is going to have a lot to choose from. The trick is knowing which to use when.
