Then you should be looking at small diaphram condensers, better suited to
capturing a wide field. The TT Pro is a good choice, and I can recommend
Rode NT5's at under $300 for a matched pair. You should have enough left
for the digital output card for the TT Pro if necessary.

If you insist on large diaphrams you'll end up with some Chinese-built
offerings from MXL, Apex, Studio Projects, etc, or you'll have to look at a
cheaper preamp/processor. Screwed either way. Pick a foot to shot.

In that case, they definitely don't want large diaphragm mikes, and they
might not even really want EQ. How about a pair of Josephson 606es,
with an RNP?

I figured it was for dual duty - recording and reinforcement, hopefully not
simultaneously.

just for recording...

I was thinking 2 studio projects c1 and two 25' mogami cables and the
focusrite.

He also wants to record, soloists, and small groups, singer
songwriters.. basically all sizel groups of singers
600 focusrite
400 mics
100 cables
=
1100

Even a pair of C42's are going to bust his budget a little with an RNP, but I'd still recommend them.

For PA applications, the large diaphragm mikes would be even worse. The
Josephson Series 5 (sorry, I meant to say that originally, rather than the
606) will also have much better gain before feedback in a PA application,
as well as sounding better for area miking. Same goes for the Crown C-700
or even the Oktava 012.

Large diaphragm mics are for close-up vocals.
