Vocal Microphones for MPC

Does anybody use a specific vocal microphone with their MPC? Ideally, it would plug right into one of the 1/4" inputs and provide a good vocal signal at the right level.

I have an SM-58, using an XLR cable with a impedance transformer to 1/4", but the level seems a bit low.

If your SM58 is an original, non-fake device, it deserves the best preamp you can afford
(it‘s only cheap because it literally sells in million quantities)
The most affordable „quality“ mic preamp is the Audient ID4 interface. The ID preamp is exactly the same as in their 5-fig console or 19“ rack units.

I have no reason to think my SM58 is counterfeit. Thanks for the interface suggestion, it appears I'm going the preamp route!

2 options, get a usb audio interface with XLR inputs that works with MPC

OR

Get a powered mic, like one of those Lav mics that has a built in preamp, they usually have a button cell battery in them. Those output a line level signal and could be plugged into the MPC inputs with just a 1/4 to 1/8 trs adapter cable or what have you.
