approximately 25% of the total phase rotation that occurs when the three-pole phase
rotator is active.
When you bypass the phase rotator, many voices sound audibly harsher because more
clipping occurs. This can be particularly problematical if you are processing heavily for
loudness. If you notice increased harshness on voice, we recommend that you use
external phase rotation (three cascaded poles, each tuned to 200Hz) in your live
microphone chain and in your production studio mic chain. If this is impractical, we
recommend leaving the 8200's built-in phase rotator active because we find the increased
voice distortion caused by leaving it off substantially more objectionable than the slight
loss of clarity that results when it is active.
Refer to the “Phase Rotator For Microphone Channel” diagram, on the following page.
