We are a medium-to small venue. 300 seat house, and i'm budgeting about 600$ for some some inventory expansion. I'd like bang for my buck obviously.
We do a wide range events from City Council election debate, moderate scale musicals and plays, student Karokee/fashion show events, Lectures, bands/orchestras, etc.
I'm don't feel a need for a "drumkit" mic set. (and they fall into more then i really want to spend on a the whole for what i think is rather specialized microphones from my understanding. I'd like to expand into some condenser mic for strings (violin, cello, string bass.) The large diaphragm mic seem more expensive for this budget year (or at least until the end of the season.)
Currently. I have
4 Crown PCC160's
7 Shure SM58's
1 Shure SM57
1 Shure 565SD (Unisphere I)
1 AKG D231
I'd like to get one more 58, and 57. As i run into needing 8 table mics often enough now and having them all the same would be convenient. Another 57 settles me for mic'ing two electric guitars which happen frequently enough with our pit orchestras for musicals.
I've found these M-Audio Pulsar II, condenser Mic's on Full Compass and seem like a sweet spot interms of price.M-Audio Pulsar II Matched Pair Cardioid Condenser Microphones, Matched Pair | Full Compass
any feedback on this product or something equivalent?
Anything thoughts on a Large Diaphragm Condenser sub 200$ (that isn't garbage) or something for string bass? would it be okay or terrible for a bass drum?
Despite not "needing a drum kit" would something like Shure PGDMK6-XLR solve my instrument mic lacking while including some drum mics?

My ear is not really trained enough i suppose to inherently know the difference in sound from the D321 and the 565SD. Are they just different feel vocal mics. I've don't use them often because they both have switches on them that inexperienced people will inevitably turn off and forget that they did.
Budget is a little flexible, and if you think needing 8 mice to be all the same is crazy do let me know. If there
The overall purpose is for live reinforcement, not for any kinda of fancy studio recording. We do record some of our shows and performances for marketing, and local TV broadcast, but I'm not concerned with the nuances of a 3,000 microphone over a 300$ version
Thank you for any feedback.
