OK for amplified instruments, percussion etc, for softer acoustic
instruments you'll need a really low-noise preamp. IIRC 'LC' means
without cable.

For close vocals only, and only if you like that type of sound.
Certainly not for chamber music.

Will be the best choice for soft instruments and chamber music
(modulo quality of construction and lifetime, for that price
you can't expect too much).
