Whilst sincerely bowing to Eric's superior experience in these matters (the best I can manage is BBC Radio!) - there are times when mics are deliberately flipped out of phase - e.g. when close mic'ing an acoustic guitar with a mic on the hole and one on the neck - sometimes you flip to get a better overall mix. Also, the trick of putting a mic behind an open back combo as well as one in front...
Also - just to muddy the waters - there are mic amps like the Focusrite's where you can put the phase between zero and 180 degree's... Of course there is the well known trick of putting the sub oop with the mains, depending on where it is in the room. As an aside, I've been playing (electric) guitar for 35+ years and never wondered if my guitar amps are inverting or not... so I just tried flipping the speaker wires...absolutely NO difference! -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35708 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
