Rob,
I've now downloaded and listened to your next video test of SASS vs
Parallel Boundary. The hiss is very noticable in all of the D clips
(must be the SASS). I prefer C which does not have the hiss.
I might add that I don't hear this hiss in other recordings I have
from Andrew (recorded with SASS), nor from my own SASS recordings.
Also Paul says that the hiss does not occur in later parts of the
(long) recordings that they made, so it must be simply the fact that
Andrew's mics were pointed slightly upwards towards the tree canopy
and the SASS has picked up leaf noise when there has been a slight
wind movement.
Other than that, I agree that generally the SASS is a bit more
spacious in its effect.
cheers,
Vicki
