RE: Grand Mic Combination for Classi... (in reply to Sr. Martins)

You are right that the positions of the microphones are the same throughout all the test, but there is no EQ whatsoever, and each take involves different microphone combinations, including SDC, LDC and ribbons, so they couldn't be more different in terms of recording microphones. Almost all (but not all) the microphones involved are considered high and highest quality gear. The preamp (Broadhurst Gardens No.1) is not an esoteric 'boutique' preamp, but is a very respected 'workhorse' amp with great transparency and British understatement. Of course, if I had used vocal or bass drum mics, the differences would have been more dramatic... So, in this test I think different combinations are shown, that represent the guitar (and unavoidably the player) as it is, and not as one would wish it is... I was asked to do this test by the Romanian luthier Alexandru Marian (who also builds very, very nice flamencas BTW) so the spacing and the distance to the guitar was prescribed by him. As to the sound: we were after possibly neutral uncolored sound that represents the guitar as it is as good as possible, with as little coloration as possible.
