i just wrapped the shootout a few mins. ago...i'll post the clips when i get home in a little bit
anyways, there were 4 mics involved - 2 that are considered ubiquitous "standards", and 2 somewhat cheaper "prosumer" mics. i'll reveal what mics were used in a couple of days.
signal chain:
steinway grand piano-->mic-->grace 801-->digi 192 converters-->PT HD
no eq/compression or anything was applied to the tracks. also, the grace has a stepped gain control, so the same amount of gain was applied across the board. i would still probably adjust the levels to be even when trying to judge them on their quality, but doing it this way also serves to give an idea of each mic's sensitivity.
