i have had excellent results with the CAD CM100. this is a hanging type
condenser that requires phantom power. it is available in black or white,
it has a gooseneck for positioning the capsule.
a number of other companys make equivilant hanging type mics including
audio-technica, Shure, Peavey,akg, beyerdynamic, Crown, Audix, and others.
alternately if a large mic is not a visual problem the Samson C01 has
given
good results as its polar pattern aids gain before feedback yes its main
lobe is broad enough to pick up a relatively wide area without too serious
a
problem with off axis pickup.
other low cost mics i have found acceptable include the Joe Meek JM-37 and
Behringer B-1.
personally i usually use gated compressors when micing choirs to reduce
the
rustling and whispering between songs.
