What are the best sub $1000 microphones for male vocalist live performance?

They are very well balanced and has a bunch of different settings to tweak what it records. One of the things you can change with the flip of a switch is a high pass, or low cut, filter that with 3 settings:

I copied these specs for the filter from http://hearthemusic.us/akg-c414-xlii-condenser-microphone-review/

"-12 dB per octave at 40 Hz: This is a steep cut at a very low frequency, useful for avoiding subsonic rumble in bass instruments while maintaining deep down goodness.
-12 dB per octave at 80 Hz: Also removes subsonic rumble, but at a frequency more suited to vocals and lead instruments.
-6 dB per octave at 160 Hz: After those sandy-sounding acoustic guitars a la The Eagles and America? Here’s your starting point. Milder roll-off but starting at a higher frequency."

You can also easily choose between 5 polar patterns.

This really is a hell of a do-it-all mic.
