AKG C214, or perhaps Perception 420?

A pair of Rode NT-5s?

Red Dog Music | Buy Recording Equipment I'm wondering if anyone rates SE Electronics SE3 or SE4... The link above at the store in Edinburgh sells either of them for £129 each...

Any opinion on SE4400a? I recently bought a matched pair for £500 at clearance sale - 50% off the RRP! For that price, I couldn't say no... Red Dog Music | Buy Recording Equipment Plenty of SE Electronics mics on clearance here it seems...

I'd +1 on Rode NT-5 pair - or better, go for Rode NT-55 matched pair set. I have Rode NT-55 matched pair (with both cardioid and omni heads), and am learning to record the Steinway model D before my next recital soon - for the size of the mics and price, I'd say the piano sounds remarkably...

I tested my Rode NT-55 pair with omni heads on a cheap 17-cm stereo bar recording a Steinway model D at Jacques Samuels yesterday (ok, in a small cramped room) - for the price, it is amazing how faithful the sound is all the way down to the bottom A... I don't think I got the preamp setting...

Thanks again John - just got my Focusrite Octopre MKII delivered and I'll be up and running experimenting with the Rode NT-55 matched pair...

Thanks John and all - I'll give it a go using my Røde NT-55 pair with omni and record the recital via Focusrite Octopre MkII on my H4n at 96kHz/24-bit. Less to carry too! One of these days I'll save enough for the pair of Sennheiser MKH omnis and upgrade to something like Korg MR-2000s for SACD...

Thanks all for the valuable suggestiuons here. To moresound - John previously mentioned that the switchable pattern mic set to omni may not be as good as a pure pressure omni mic. Judging from the sound samples in SOS article using NT-55s - the mics are very good when set up appropriately...

Hi folks, I want to record a 9-foot Steinway grand in a large room with good acoustic. I have: 1) Matched pair of SE Electronics SE4400a 2) Matched pair of Rode NT55 3) Matched pair of AKG C214 4) Non-matched pair of AKG Perception 420 5) Non-matched pair of Shure PG81 Recorder: Zoom R24...

Hmm - just returned from a music store nearby, only to be told that I would be better off using a pair of SE4400a PLUS either spend as much as you can on the preamps or get an audio interface i.e. Roland Octa Capture.... I tried to ask questions regarding AKG C414, or any other multi-pattern...

Wow - very high set-up. I need a height extension to my mic stand as well as extra-long XLR cables. I see a pair of SDC mics shown in this photo - so this suggests that it might be better for me to look at using getting a pair of NT55s using the omni caps (as suggestions elsewhere seem to...

Mics can be easily placed 8-10 feet from the grand piano and angled towards the fully-open lid. I guess my matched C214 pair can be used for this arrangement - how far apart between the mics should be? 8-10 feet apart also? I also read somewhere that Omnis are often preferred for classical...

Hi all, New here, and wondering if you can help. I'm doing a piano recital next month and wondering what's the best way to record a grand piano in a small recital room (120+ capacity). Piano: Steinway Model-D grand, 9-ft Venue: Small recital room (120+ capacity), high ceiling with a dome roof...
