Re: Favorite Dynamic mic Mandolin for live use?
1) Beyer M-201 TG - very tight pattern, excellent transient response.
2) Shure Beta 57A - be careful to avoid the fakes out there.
3) AKG D5 - yes, it works on instruments too, quite well.
I would not totally rule out condensers. I get excellent results with a Shure SM-94 even in some quite tricky situations.
