Could placing the internal mics in a pair of "wings" gain any benefit from =
a boundary effect? The size of the wings would be limIted by the spacing.=

The stereo provided by a SASS array works because it approximates the spaci=
ng of the human ears as well as the baffle & boundary effect of the human h=
ead. Placing an M10 in a slot in the front of a SASS array will provide non=
