RØDE M2
Best reliable vocal capture for demanding live performers.
This is the go-to handheld for vocalists who demand studio-grade detail on a chaotic stage. Its super-cardioid pattern aggressively kills feedback and background bleed, though you will need to handle the sensitive condenser capsule with more care than a standard dynamic mic.
