Hi eternalmusic .

With SM58 you no need phantom power .

Phantom is for Condenser Microphone , those we use only for Studio REC - not for LIVE play ....

OK .

A more sensitive and/or higher gain non powered mike are those with Neodymium magnets. Shure has them in the Beta series, Electro Voices are less money and just as good. The budget mike that sounds very good is the Samson Q7. The Samson Q5 is an excellent hand help condenser for the money as well.

SMS58 is overrate and people use it not cuz its good but cuz SOME people
used it...just a name, there is many MICs in that price range that would
eat an SM58 for breakfast, for example:
