Hi Everyone, I'm looking for a good sounding but inexpensive home studio mic. My budget is below $200. I'm not exactly sure what Audio Interface I will be getting, but I have heard that you need to match your mic with the AI because some GOOD mics can sound really bad when paired with the wrong Audio Interface. Is this correct?

I've done a search on Amazon, just to get an idea of what's around in the way of mics, so I'll mention a few of the ones I'm curious about:
AKG Perception 2020 and 2040 (Condenser mic)
Shure SM57 AND 58 (Dynamic mics)
Senheiser studio mics ... a few to choose from

I know that Shure makes some really great mics as in the SM57 / 58 and 58s, and Rhode make good mics as well, but these are Dynamic mics. Do people use a Dynamic mic in a small home recording instead of a Condenser mic? My recordings will mostly be in the form of R&B, Country and Pop, MIDI and a few acoustic instruments . NO heavy rock vocals.

Is it possible to get a really great sounding mic for under $200? Suggestions most welcome.

Thanks in advance for your input,
Dome
