XM6 PHASE ADJUSTMENT

An acoustical time delay might exist in a mobile audio system between 

the time the subwoofer, midrange and tweeter signals are received by the 

listener. This is caused by different distances between the listening position

and the left, right and subwoofer speaker placements. 

The overall effect would be either an uneven stereo balance, loss of

midrange or midbass, almost no bass or the bass seems to lag behind the

highs (commonly known as “out of phase”). If this is the case, experiment

with the phase inverter switch for a position that gives you an even stereo

balance, more midrange or midbass and more bass output from the

subwoofer.

music is undefined and may lose low frequesncy response.

music is produced with realism resulting in better imaging and staging 

with improved low frequency response.
