How about an AT822 or 825?

These run off battery power so it seems like you would just need a recorder and the appropriate cable adapters. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't run one of these hands-on.

While I did hear a pretty decent sounding ween recording on LMA using an AT822, I don't think it would be the best. If you can get one for a good price, go for it but new they are ~$250 whereas you could go with the other options listed above for that much.

The mic is more for stereo ENG applications and it works well at that.

you could always just patch out of the soundboard. if you are looking for aud recording, i suggest that you go with the church audio setup

I wish!  We play places where we "garageband" it.  The only thing in the PA is vocals and maybe a bit of kick drum.

I was looking at recorders at Sam Ash today and the dude there told me they were having a 20% off sale this Saturday.  I'll probably be getting the recorder there and take a little time to further research the mics.

if you are looking for some decent mics with a cheap price tag, check out the avantones ck-1s.

I gotta say that I am not that happy with my microtrack1, the thing is a POS that works most of the time but is flaky. Feels like a toy.
