I have two Audio-Technica AT2020. They are are steal for their price. They
recording anything well, and in blind tests compete admirably with mics
several times their price. A good general purpose mic, IMO. They are also
heavy duty, made of metal, so they aren't overly fragile either....
Re:Behringer.....I don't know about their mics, but I do have a small
Euro-rack mixer, and I've had nothing but good feelings about it. I know an
engineer who swears that the ICs in most of these mixers is the same
anyway.....

So, is anyone able to recommend good quality but
inexpensive dynamic
mics that can cope with the loud SPL of a pipe organ at ten feet,
have a low background noise, and don't mind being at the end of a
20m XLR cable?
Today 'cheap' general-purpose mics tend to be electrets - simple
electret capsules can be mass-produced much cheaper than dynamic
ones. Dynamic mics, at least good ones, tend to be specialised for
vocal use, while ribbons dominate the high-quality non-condenser
niche.
I'd avoid anything called Behringer, and go for example for some
of the cheaper AKG electrets.
Ciao,
