m-audio has some stuff that is cheap.

The USB mics are fine, but they won't take advantage of your E-mu interface inputs, which are coaxial analog.

I'd consider getting an Audio-Technia condenser mic. A-T makes fancy expensive mics, but they also make some very
affordable condenser mics, too. For example:

     http://www.zzounds.com/item--AUTPRO24 --this one is a small stereo mic that is powered either by its own on-board battery or
                                                                                by phantom power.

     http://www.zzounds.com/item--AUTPRO37--this one requires phantom power*.


     http://www.zzounds.com/item--AUTAT2020--this is a monaural studio mic, requires phantom power. A $200 mic for 100 bucks.

Look around on these pages (Zzounds) or Google Audio Technia mics.

*Phantom power is supplied by most mic preamps, which are a good thing to have. ART makes some very good, reasonably priced ones.

Here're a couple:

http://www.zzounds.com/item--ART127

Both are quite inexpensive, both supply phantom power, both are tube type preamps, which produces a warm sound.

for years with good results...]
