Default Re: Phase. What exactly is it?

Quote:
With all the various frequencies being emitted, how can you find an actual sweet spot? After creation, I don't think a 440 Hz wave will ever be in phase with a 12360 Hz wave except on rare, essentially random occasions.
Another side to that is if the tone picked up by the distant mic is different enough from the close mic (which is really the point) than even if there are some phase issues, it will become irrelevant. I'd say this happens more with a mic @ 3' and 9' than mics at 3" and 9" or 1" and 3".

My main quams are when we try use multiple mics at the same distance from the source. All hell can break loose.
