I just bought 4 SUM for use at our church and indeed they are great
units. We run them through an EQ on the mix board and the idea was to
have as close to identical units thereby reducing the knob twiddle
effect for various board ops. We also have three Senheiser but I do not
know the model numbers there. I used one in a PA last weekend and am
impressed but we sure need some phase shifters to decrease feedback in
that situation. Hard on the ears!
Thank you!

any studio mike will sound pretty decent on SSB.
Most studio mikes, even the cheap ones will give you an audio frequency
range of at least 50HZ to 16KHZ.
Since your typical 2.7K maximum band width on ssb will be quite a bit
narrower then that, you can be sure that the mike will give a good flat
response within the bandwidth that the radio puts out.
Audio technica, V-tech, AKG, CAD, Nady, shure, among several others all
sell quality studio mikes for around 30 to 60 bucks.
If you want a really high quality mike for vocal audio, the shure
beta-58 is about the best on the market right now under $500.
It's around the same price as the Heil Gold line, in the $150 to $199
range.
The idea is to have as flat a response out of the microphone as
possible, and then contour the response with a graphic Equalizer.
Some of the cheaper mikes will have bumps at 1K or 2K to increase
intelegability on a PA, but the better ones will be flat.
I use a shure sm 158 from time to time on the ts2000 straight in and get
good results.
Look around for an old style desk lamp that has a double action boom on
it.
They often have a shelf clamp on one end, and you can modify the other
end to hold a mike clip.
You should be able to locate a goose neck with a clamp on one end for
studio control room or DJ use.
Sometimes you have to get a few different parts and build the thing to
suit your needs.
