Hi all,

I'm looking for suggestions for mics that stand up in moderate to high
electrical noise environments (computer monitors, UPS units, wireless
internet, elevator motors, etc). More specifically, one to be used for talk
only (radio interviews) and about in the $100-$200 US range. We're using a
Shure SM57 and EV RE-50 and both are giving rather noticable hums depending
on positioning in the room.

I've come to the determination a condenser mic is the only option at this
point.

I'm thinking of the Shure SM86 based on Shure's ruggedness reputation (or
the cheaper version the Shure BG 5.1 off Ebay)

Thoughts? Suggestions?
