Well-spotted Greg. Looking closely, I certainly agree that Klas's
SASS rig has the mics positioned wrongly, they need to be further out
by half to one inch. And ideally they should have the diaphragms
flush with the boundary. I had not been able to grasp why Klas
thought of the SASS sound as muffled, I have never found that to be
the case with SASS, except occasionally for a sound directly front on
with a SASS that has a 'square' nose rather than a tapered one.
