The Stagg SDM70 cardioid dynamic microphone from Stagg would make a great multipurpose microphone for vocal and instrumental recording or performance use. Depite the amazing price the mic is of great quality featuring a zinc alloy case and DC18 moving coil cartridge. The mic has a balanced XLR connector and a lockable on/off switch. If that wasn't enough the microphone is supplied with a 5m Stagg XLR to XLR mic cable all packed in a strong plastic storage carry case.
