There are phase inversion switches on some gear for the audio output - nothing to do with mains supply. Some people believe that some recordings were made out of phase to others and by flicking the switch you can restore them to their correct absolute phase. It also might work in cases where other gear in the reproduction chain have reversed phase during amplification stages. In other words, you make the loudspeakers move in the same direction as the monitors in the studio. Given that recordings are made up of many tracks with all types of effects, compression and filtering on them, I doubt that this has any audible effect. Of course having one channel out of phase to the other is audible as it can cancel out pressure waves in the more monotonic signals at the low end. Personally, my ears are so shot by live concerts, I wouldn't claim to hear any perceptible differences! -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36626 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
