For both sax and piano, Ronan's signal chain of choice is the A Designs Pacifica preamp (http://ow.ly/1QLAx ) to the A Designs EM-PEQ 500 series equalizer (http://ow.ly/1QLBz ), that requires a frame with power supply, such as the A Designs 500HR (http://ow.ly/1QLCa ) to operate. Ronan uses the Pearlman TM-LE condenser mic on sax and two Pearlman TM-1 condensers in A-B configuration for miking the grand piano (you can check out the Pearlman TM-LE and TM-1 at pearlmanmicrophones.com).
