I tested
beast with a Shure 57 A for dobro and acoustic guitars sound really improved clarity and warmth
with a low-end micro t bone sc 400 for voice ditto, I think we really wins
to take a harmonica with 57 beta: here is really good, there was a slight saturation lamp
to judge the result (recorded with a line 6 ux2 sound card: http://www.riffworld.com/Members/chavilbus/mayyounever
I'll add an example of harmonica soon

SOUND QUALITY

As I wrote above, to improve the sound with microphone input range, it works. It gives the warmth of clarity to vocals and acoustic instruments.
