Extreme Mic Techniques

Forums

I am a fellow Audio geek, and I have picked this forum as a main resource. I don't have lots of experience in the field, but there are many people here that do. I am curious to know of some stories about interesting, bizarre, cool and extreme mic techniques that pros like yourself have accidently stumbled upon (I.E.- that article someone posted about using a speaker as a microphone).

Better Live Vocal Mics

Forums

Anyone care to offer first-hand advice about buying better-than-average vocal mics for live performance? I am a part-time audio engineer for a small church. We could use some new mics. I currently use the SM58 and the Electro-Voice N/D767a. I have heard the beta 87a and talked to engineers who like it a lot. I have also used the AKG c1000 for some quick vocal recording.
