Before someone gets shortchanged, the modified SASS/MKH-20 I use was
originally a modification of the old Crown SASS that was built for DPA
mics. And it was Lang Elliott that came up with using the MKH-20. I just
got out recording with Lang, liked the mic and worked out how to machine
up the modification. Since then I have machined up more than three dozen
of this design for various folks. But I did not develop it.
