Hi All, just been setting up some subs and I've got an irritating question at the back of my brain.
If the wiring is correct and the sub drivers are in a similar plane to the main stereo pair why would we ever need a phase control?
I felt that if I had to use it I would only be delaying the sub signal so could be up to a wavelength behind at test frequency.
This might not matter for a continuous wave but what about a soliton, a drumbeat or the pluck of a string?
Luckily my phasing was correct at zero degrees but I keep wondering and would have probably reversed the connections on my mains if i'd found the need to go to anywhere near 180 degrees.
