Working with the Channel Racks
Setting the Phase
Each audio-related channel and input/output channel has a Phase button. When this
button is activated, the phase polarity is inverted for the signal. Use this to correct the
phase for balanced lines and microphones that are wired backwards, or microphones
that are out of phase due to their positioning.
• Phase polarity is important when mixing two similar signals.
If the signals are out of phase with respect to one another, there will be some
cancellation in the resulting audio, producing a hollow sound with less low-
frequency content.
