In Reply to: Reverse polarity problem? posted by Steve Eddy on March 2, 2007 at 09:06:49:
I would tend to phrase it as "a compression at the microphone diaphragm results in a compression at the ear." Speakers and their crossovers can make this a jumble, so considering only one driver is iffy.One runs the risk, when reducing the polarity issue to those terms, of inspiring the over-thinkers among us to begin conducting thought experiments with respect to drum heads or harp strings--a soundmind favorite--whereby so many are led astray.
Much simpler to simply say, "Play it the way it sounds best," assuming your system lets you hear it.
BTW, I've never even heard of the two channels of an LP being out-of-phase with each other. I find the inclusion of the switch to solve that "problem" a hoot. Is that for real, or did Mikey goof?
Meanwhile, I hear polarity on nearly all recordings, not just simply-miked ones.
