Decent vocal mic to use with Fishman Loudbox Mini?

Well if you can hit the notes, I heard the Sennheiser e965 is great

Seriously though, the Heil PR-35 punches far above it's price, it's in the league of the e965 /Neumann 105 / Shure KSM-9, but is priced in the Shure Beta 87a / Sennheiser e945 range!

I have a Sennheiser 800 series condensor the e865 which is pretty good. Clearer and warmer than my Beta 58a for example. The dynamics (835,845,855) in the 800 series don't beat the Shures in my opinion. The 865 and 945 are in a different league though

Their Mic Mechanic would probably be a better choice for someone with limited vocal ability. The pre that TC build into these pedals is much, much better than what the Fishman has.

YES, I must say the adaptive EQ/compression on my VoiceLive 2 makes my Beta58 sound better than a Beta 87a, and a lot more. You can get this functionality in their single pedals for cheap - check out this pedal for whatever mic you buy - makes a big diference: TC Helicon Voicetone T1

Should I expect to be able to try out mics Before I buy them ?
