Michael, I don't doubt you`re receiving a good recording from your set up but it doesn't seem very logical to me. Those mics on the bar going across look as if they would focus on the notes that they're stationed right above and cause them to stand out quite readily. How do you prevent that?

I suggest listening with the best headphones you can get your hands on: http://www.earthworksaudio.com/microphones/pianomic-series-2/ We've used the PM40 for about 3 years for both recording and live performances. Attached are a few photos from a recent session done on a Model 220 where we used the PM40 with a set of Neumann M149s. This was about as close to sounding like an accurate representation of the piano's sound that I've heard. Unfortunately, I don't have the audio files from this session (yet). The quality of the PM40 is comparable to the Neumann's and although the 3k price tag may seem a little steep, it's still about 1/4 the cost of the Neumann's. Here's a recording using just the Earthworks PM40. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQXPVG_LXuU <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQXPVG_LXuU&list=UUOs5Mzk0G9CtJGr0SJtiE5g&in dex=4&feature=plcp> &list=UUOs5Mzk0G9CtJGr0SJtiE5g&index=4&feature=plcp Michael Spreeman www.RavenscroftPianos.com _____ I believe this is a unit I viewed on The Ravescroft that Michael Spreeman uses.
