as expected, perceptions change.....
....the Great River is a LOT better with my 416, and if I run it clean enough it gets close to the sound of the Grace with the U87ai....(a combination that I like) |

| ....oops, looks like I had the HPF switch engaged on the Grace when I was trying it out with the 416, and was then cutting 80hz (like I always do with that mic)...looks like the Grace may be back in the lead.... |

| I don't doubt that you'll like the Grace, but I know when I was researching the GR (never pulled the trigger on one), almost everyone who ever owned one and got rid of it said they regretted it. |

the great thing about this is that is has forced me to really look at how I have been gain staging the Great River. I think I've been running the output too hot, which on the 87 and 416 makes them sound kind of hard.
When I hit the input harder and dial back the output, it really flatters these two mics. It's colored, but very clear.
The Great River is not going anywhere  |
