I've been in this situation many times...

These days if the kit is not ancient I'll just take a low-impedance dynamic mic - SM58 is fine - and, using an XLR to TS cable, give it a shot. Most times it works fine as is with no apparent detriment to audio quality - given that you're using a cheap 'n' cheerful input in the first place.

In rare cases I have to experiment with if both pins 1 and 3 of the XLR should be connected to the sleeve of the TS, but this is seldom an issue.

HTH. Mike
