My two cents on this one. I own the following three mics: EV 767, Shure Beta 58, Shure Beta 87. THe EV is the one with the hottest signal, but I prefer the Shure Beta 58 (I have the impression that the high frequency response is better), which is the one I use in most of my live performances. They are both dynamic, which means more simplicity and robustness. For Tyros owners: with these two mics, the mic gain knob (back pannel) is at 2/3 of max position. The condenser Beta 87 has better detail. I use it with an inexpensive (this is for Scott) tube preamp from Behringer http://www.behringer.com/MIC100/index.cfm?lang=ENG , which has phantom power included, and with the Tyros mic gain at 1/3 of the max.
