What is Variphase?
Variphase provides a means of shifting the phase of a signal far more accurately
than with a simple polarity invert switch, and without moving the microphone.
Its important to note that Variphase does not delay the signal; instead it uses the
phase response characteristics of analogue filters.
This circuitry provides another tool to use in combination with existing techniques,
such as polarity inversion and careful microphone placement. In some situations
such as a double mic’ed snare drum, Variphase may be more practical than moving
the microphone as this may increase the amount of spill from other drums. In other
situations such as Mic’ing and DI’ing an electric bass, moving the microphone may
be more practical, and Variphase can then be tweaked to optimum position.
Of course variphase doesn’t only have to be used to perfectly phase align
signals, shifting signals in and out of phase can have some interesting results, so
experiment!
