Ok, how many microphone do you need. And what ballpark are you looking to spend.
For live work the dynamic Shure 58 is the industry workhorse even some big name artist use. Cost $99 The Shure 58 can also be used in the studio depending what sound you are going for. My sense is that if you are asking these questions that you are new to the home recording studio scene. If that is the case your mic locker should only have one mic, the Sure 58. Over time you can bring in artists that might have their own mics and you will be exposed to new sounds and grow your mic needs organically. To kick things off go with the 58. If you are micing instruments the Sure 57 also $99 is a good one. The 57 & 58 do not require phantom power so one less thing to worry about. And they are rugged and last a long time. If you branch out into condenser phantom powered mics look for cardioid mic patterns. One you have to be right on top of to make sound. This will help eliminate unwanted noise that is natural to the room you are recording in. Large diaphragm for voice and small diaphragm for instrument recording. But note condenser mics don’t like to be dropped. Ribbon mics are through the roof expensive, are fragile, and should be handled by experienced sound engineers only. These are just a few thoughts on mics. If you want to go further into various mics then be a little more precise in the purpose you are to use mics for. Broadcast is a little vague. Hope this helps.

Several types of mic’s I know of. Ribbon- strictly studio and delicate some what fragile but great sound. Condenser- This mic is phantom powered and come in come in small and large diaphragm types. Dynamic- good all around mic for live performance and studio work including micing instruments and vocals. There may be other mic types I am forgetting or are unfamiliar with. In any event many manufacturers making lots of mics. So pic your budget $99 to $8 or 9 thousand. Narrow things down for the list and someone might have good recommendations for your purpose and budget.
