Not much interest in a SASS array. Just an interest in the Crown SASS-P MK=
II. Which is on par with my current STO-2's, but with a better low end IM=
O. And at the time using the 9V instead of phantom powered would have exte=

for about the same price used relative to the STO-2's. But I've since got =
some MM-1's that take the phantom power burden off the field recorder (whic=
h basically doubles battery life per charge), so that's not a major conside=
ration anymore.
I was going with the MSRP price per mic since if you shop off the shelf, yo=
