This is good news.

I wonder what would make the best "synch sound"? Seems like an instrument
making a sharp broadband "tick" would work best, similar to the sound made
when using a fingernail clipper.

I could repeat such a tick every five minutes or so on long takes, allowing
for periodic re-synching.

Obviously, I would have to position the "ticker" exactly equidistant from
the two SASS mikes (one forward facing and one rear facing, with a barrier
in between), such that arrival times at all four mikes are identical.

>From film industry experience, two DATs will usually keep lip synch
just fine over a five or ten minute take. That's within a few
milliseconds, adequate for musical (or nature) syncronization of
surround channels, but not good enough for phase syncronization like
M/S matrixing.
