I'm glad Vicki brought up the SASS. I built mine after scouring her site an=

During a trip to Scotland last June I found out the SASS is a little bulky=
for air travel (though actually not much bulkier than a typical zeppelin).=
So I went on a bit of a binge, trying to find a more compact stereo micing=
system that delivers comparable performance. Eventually it turned into a f=
ree-for-all to see if anything else delivers that kind of performance, comp=
act or not. What I found is that it's really really hard to beat the sense =
of space the SASS delivers.
I tend to over-complicate my builds, so I can't advocate my way of making =
an SASS. Vicki's page on her stereo arrays offers much more tractable appro=

I think I built mine for under $50. Aside from the capsules, the most expe=
nsive part was the cable. Good shielded cable is worth every penny.
