[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 211793, member: 172"] I agree with Mike, but will add a couple notes: * While the SM58 is an industry standard, it is by no means the only choice out there. If possible, I'd try to have your daughter audition several vocal mics and find the one that works best for her voice (and has decent rejection of other sounds, so that her voice is the only thing the mic is picking up on the stage) * For the band you've listed, the only thing I'd typically be putting into the PA in most small venues is vocals (and keys if there's no keyboard amp, and maybe a bit of kick drum). So I'd look at getting a small "vocals only" PA at this point. For simplicity, a single self-powered speaker would be fine (I'd pick something that can also be used as a stage monitor, so it can be repurposed if the group grows, or used as a "practice amp"). Personally, I like the QSC K8 and K10, and the Yamaha DXR series for this, although I've not worked with the recent JBL boxes. Note that very few of the self-powered speakers have phantom power, so you won't be able to plug a condenser mic directly into them. [/QUOTE]
