I use a simple passive splitter and a powered mic or a dynamic. Then I use a 1 khz test tone to tweak the gains to match. Then I print the test tone on both tracks so I have a reference tone. I use a high resolution metering/trimming plugin to get the final level match between the reference tones before rendering. And then I use an ABX tool to remove the labels when I compare results.
It seems like a lot of fiddling around, but eliminating these extraneous variables lets me hear the _real_ differences.
