Jacobson & Skeoch SASS and DIY Parallel Boundary Mic Comparison


Paul Jacobson has assembled a very informative side by side field comparison test between a Crown SASS mic outfitted with Sennhesier MKH-20 mics and a DIY Parallel Boundary rig with Audio Technica 3203 mics made by Paul. Paul's report with sound file samples can be found here.


I wanted to be able to listen to the samples closely juxtaposed and blind so I made a QuickTime movie with unlabeled segments:

(A) QuickTime Movie comparing clips from the two rigs for viewing with a web browser: http://snipurl.com/utdv0 
(8mb) Requires QuickTime.

(B) QuickTime Movie comparing clips from the two rigs for downloading and viewing with QuickTime. MPPEG Streamclip and other Media players. http://tinyurl.com/ygm8otf (8mb .zip) 

When you have finished your assessment and are ready to identify the clips, you can find the answer in the comments section below.
