Ya don't need a Mic Preamp at a live gig.

You also don't need phantom powered mic, esoteric recording mic, large diaphragm mic (feedback citaaay!) or any number of a host of mics available today.

The OM5 or beta 58 will make mincemeat of 'em anyhoo in a live performance shootout.

What you want is to be heard clearly, with a bit of the cardioid pattern effect -- and not have to strain yourself to do so.

And Dynamic mics are where its at for this purpose.

Um, the purpose is doin' hit 'n run gigs with Band in a Box, 'K?
