Sound recording and sound reinforcement are two different worlds. What works for one is not going to be best for another.
Stop me if I've told this story before. Some years ago I attended a large church conference in a huge ballroom. It was a nice venue and everything associated was done to a high professional standard.But when the pianist played, it sound like a cheesy low quality digital. The player was clearly highly skilled but the sound was awful. This was a surprise in light of how well everything else was done. So at break I went up to see what the poor guy was stuck playing. I was thinking low end Casio, spring loaded, maybe into some laptop speakers. Nope, full size Steinway grand, in perfect tune. Mike sitting over the strings connected to the room audio system.
