Re: clip on dynamic mics
Must confess I have only run into these when attached to a drum kit (dynamic clip on mics), so can't really predict how they'd be in mandolin. Seem to recall the ones I encountered were some Sennheiser model, this one, as far as I can remember.
VERY low output! Needed high gain on the preamps. All I can say is I did not feel the urge to investigate further.
Truly, I think if you dealing with very high stage volumes, I'd take the easy route. K&K Piezo (or similar). When it gets really loud, no-one is going to be able to tell a decent piezo from a vintage KM-54 anyway...
