Ive used that Neumann model you have listed on bluegrass vocals and to tell ya the truth I dont much care for that mic for live use
It has a real funny tone/bite around 2k region if I remember right
Besides its way overpriced for the performance

I found the Beta 58 to be a much better sounding vocal mic

I did sound for a large church festival thing and used the Audix OM3
Now that is a dam nice sounding live mic on vocals hands down

I was totally impressed with the feedback rejection and articulation
and uncolored sound of that Audix OM3 for any vocal

I use cardiod condensors on live bluegrass instruments
AKG C1000S great mic
Audio Technica large diapragm mics are sweet
Oktavia small condensor...sweet
MXL 603 a budget small condenser that is real sweet
