Dude who you attacking at 3:10? 😂

After all these years I just didn’t pay Attention to phase settings that being said I was about to get a new sun because I thought that it was the issue. You just saved me from having to get 1.Thanks for the info!!!

What I got from this video is that for effective communication with my wife, it requires me to be in phase!!!! Loved the illustration!🤣

Finally, thank you! I got the answer to a question that I have asked. I don’t have the equipment to do measurements, so, I had to go by what I heard. I have a pair of SVS PB 1000 Pro in the front, and a pair of Klipsch R12’s in the back, and the phase is what I was asking about. I had all the subs at 0 phase, and always thought that something was missing. I put in a reference demo (GKOTM) sat in my seat and listened, and wasn’t getting that “oooommmmppphhhh” I should hear. I than changed the phase to the rear subs, played back the opening credits to GKOTM, and the Kraken was awakened. I not only heard them, I felt them!! When I’m able to get the necessary gear, I will sit and take measurements and see what I see.

I have to give you credit for simplifying the subject of phase. I also did not get a chance to comment on your video featuring premium car audio and I really enjoyed it. I wanted to know that if in a car system it would be advantageous to add an amp/ sub, I know you really liked the JBL and I agree. What I like about factory systems is the head unit is already integrated to the specific car not just for sound but for the air and information of the car diagnostics. I would love to have that kind of integration from an after market system but I have not found that in those systems. Thank you for your videos and stay safe K Pace!

Thank you for all your deep and expanded shared knowledge in audio electronics. I am learning a lot and can definitely apply them in my own personal setup at home. 😀 Excited

Good video! Distance, delay or phase are all pretty much the same thing when it comes to trying to get speaker to play in phase.

This one is spot on. The only thing i can add is that if you don't have a calibrated mic and rew it is extremely difficult doing this by ear, specially if you have a dial from 0 to 180. Best to use low frequencies, everything under 27hz should be ok. The reason is that those wavelengths are soo long, they almost never cancel each other, there are no nulls there. You can use Audacity to create a sweep from 20 to 30hz make it play for 2 seconds and repeat for 5 minutes for example. Play that sound and start changing the chase degree on 1 sub only. Leave the other one at 0. You want to hear the bass get louder on the whole sweep not just at 1 frequency, Repeat this until the bass is the loudest. It should be around 6db higher than when using a single sub. The only issue is that this phase change will change the upper frequencies too. It will move the null point but without a graph it's almost impossible to make it perfect.

Of all the videos I have watched on what phase is and what it is not...your video was the best. I have created a music-listening room where I have placed two Klipsch bookshelf speakers and a single Klipsch R-100W-10 subwoofer. Being a total newbie, I appreciate your simple but clear video. Thank you!

Thank you! About time someone tells me about this. As you can tell brand new to subwoofers. I have KEF Q950 tower speakers and mostly listen to jazz and classical, thank you again!

I followed your suggestions before but I use a sound meter to adjust my phase by slowly turning the phase knob on the Sub until the meter reads highest, setting my meter to read at 75 dB this helps with setting up my Subs Phase

good work explaining. simple and coherent. salute young man.

Enjoying this video! Great job 👏🏿

Awesome advice thank you!!!

Yessss ....Again a good explanation about the PHASE 👍🏽. Very informatif 👏🏼

My subwoofers are facing my front speakers and I was playing with the phase switch and noticed that putting the subwoofers in 180 made the sound much more clear and in tune with the front speakers. Now all of the speakers are going in the same direction. The change was dramatic. The Bass is now smooth and not punchy anymore.

Got my first ever sub yesterday and have been looking into phase today. When I saw your clip, I thought "at last - an easily understandable explanation" 👍

Thanks for the knowledge

Bro I appreciate you helping me understand what phase actually is. And man I laughed so hard I had tears

Great video!

I've used a video with an 80hz sine tone (my crossover frequency) to adjust the phase. At 0° there was less bass than at 180°.

1:23 Phase and Polarity are different things. Polarity shift is an y-axis variance, where the signal can get positive or negative value and is not affecting the x-axis (the time domain of the signal), whereas the phase shift is a time-domain "delay introduction" in the signal. For example, a 90° phase shift, as in a circle, is a quarter-rotation or a quarter of a wavelength. Polarity is more used for microphones, where we can shift the polarity from positive to negative in case of two microphones facing each other (i.e. snare recording with mics up and down) and we don't get cancellation of the signal. If we use phase shift for this case, then we can have an inconsistent signal that is not aligned in the time domain. In the DAW, we can perform this phase alignment and bring back the signal from the second microphone to be timed correctly with the first microphone, and then again we have not done literally anything and we'll have still phase cancellation from both mics. That's where polarity is used.

Ahhhhhhhhhh Finally, phase is explained in a way that I understand. Great job 👍 What's up at 3:10. I'm thinking localization is letting the sub woofer announce it's presence

Good information

best answer🤛

I have dual SVS PB1000 Pro in the front, and dual Klipsch R12’s in the rear, and they have switch 0-180!

I have a music only system with one sub closer to the listener and by setting the closer one at 180 the sub sounds louder - which means it is more efficient which was an improvement in the overall sound. . .. .

I have the same sub position on top left in minute 4:00 and rear right sub is on same position but facing TV should I set bot phases the same or each sub should be set on different phase 1 is a 10” and other is a 12” different brand. Thanks in advance

thanks bro this is what i need.

Man I like you explained lol husband and wife 🤣. Great video man

I just want to say thank you. You may not see this as its an old 2yr video but bro. You made a how to/explanation of phase so simple…a caveman can do it. 😆(Sorry would have been a wasted opportunity.) Anyway, thank you because looking for a what are you trying to hear with phase has been arduous. Yes I have a basic understanding of phase but I want to KNOW and Ytubers do a bad job of breaking this down. They are either pretentious w/o knowing it. Saying a bunch of words but explaining nothing OR they are out of their field of knowledge. Just copying n paste what others say to make some quick content. It’s ridiculous. I’ve blabbed enough, just had to leave a lengthy comment of thank you this video is golden and deserves more praise and views for what it accomplishes. Have a great day and a happy new year to you. 🤙🏾

Interesting subject 🕪🔊👍

Subwoofers have variable adjustments ...haha woo punch ....glad you kept that in...hillarious :)

From 2019 when i start my HT project, i leave my phase to rev as per recommended by Yamaha. However i miss out it stated in manual i can change to normal if it suite my taste. After 5 years, I switch to normal and I can feel more wave coming from the front.

Fantastic tube. TU

Ok from 3 years in the past There ya go again educating me again.

Can you use a decibel meter to objectively measure and determine phase?

Question please. If the phase of my 2 subwoofer not set properly, will that affect how the bass is projected towards where I want it . I have notice when I set up my live band with my subs one on each side or even both together in the front , the dance floor or front audience area , the bass is not so great ,but if I walk around to the right side of the band then the bass fells much good

So i have 2 Klipsch R100SW 10 inch subs. I have one in front to the right side of my right tower, and the 2nd sub is right across the 1st one looking at each other close to my listening position on the right side of the sofa. i did the crawl method and those were the strongest points to place the sub. So my question is should i just leave the phase on zero or 180? or leave front sub at zero and 2nd one at 180?

Percortesia, subtitles with various languages ​​thank you

That's good

I have an idea. In a single sub setup, what if I set my crossover high to 120hz, LFE+Main, speakers set to small, and sub-woofer placed beside my mains, with my phone set in slow motion mode at 240 frames per second while playing a bassy song. I should be able to clearly see the woofers moving in sync (or out of) when adjusting the phase dial? Just a thought that popped up in my head. Would this work?

Hi guys. I have 2 matching Dayton sub's. I put one in phase 180. I definitely got more base at seated position. . They were both canceling each other out badly both at 0 phase. Is that OK to leave it 1 in 1 out of phase since music did sound much better? And does that mean movies will sound better?

Hi! If I have two subwoofers in front of my couch, Can I set them, 1 to 0 and the other 180?

Hey I'm a still-learning audio engineer and my outdoor venue system has 4 truss-mounted main speakers and two subs. I think one speaker is out of phase, though now that I think about it maybe the subs are too. Should the subs be opposite numbers or same numbers generally? (eg 0-0, 25-155 for subs or adjacent speakers) Or no rhyme or reason to what works best?

Well explained. I have a dial on my sub for cross over frequency. Any advice on that? I have already set the amp settings to cross over at 90hZ so what should I set the sub to and why is it there?

How about receiver switch, phase switch to normal or reverse. Sub switch to normal or reverse. Which set is the best setting.

Im trying to understand this but still doesn't make much sense to me. I understand about polarity which is making sure the speakers are at their correct positive connection and negative connections, which will make them in phase. BUT what I'm confuse is where you can "ADJUST" a phase from a particular speaker in contrast with the other speaker in order to get a "better sound. Im more into car audio and I've read about this same issue. Do you need some type of metered equipment to help with this?

If i have some active speakers and a woofer sitting right under my table, shouldnt i just have phase 0 or?

Hey are OSD 5 channel good trying to find your video on it

klipsh vs polk what is better for music?

Hi! Hope you are doing well! Quick question, when you had the Yamaha RX A3070 did you calibrate your subs using YPAO or with something else?

Let me ask you a question. I have dual subs in the front, and rear. Front subs are at 0 phase, what phase should the rear subs be set at?

my sub amp broken. I was getting great sound at 60degree. I connected my crown xls amp to speakers . Now I have phase issue. Any solution?

How do I get my 6×9s in phase?

☺️✌

Hey Partner .. I'm running a 2 subwoofer system on LFE and I was told to set one sub at "0" and the other at "180" .. does that sound correct to you ? .. Thanks for time

Quick easy explanation and examples. Thanks! BTW...husband and wife scenario...lol.

Every time I run a room calibration my Polk LSIM 707 and 706C are labelled as out of phase error by Yamaha 2080. I absolutely know they are not.Yamaha even admits in manual that this should be ignored if speakers are in phase. Its frustrating that a receiver can't get this right .

And if I have 4 subwoofers?

Videoda onlarca altyazı dil seçeneği olup türkçe altyazı dil desteğini eklememeniz büyük eksiklik olmuş bu sağlam ve önemli bilgiler için 😢🙏🙏🙏😢

Just use your ears. You will never get it wrong. If it’s flat it’s out of phase. If your “woofing” you got it. 👍👍👍

another great explanation of phase but NO info on how to measure and set it..

@3:09 WTF?!!!! This shit is going on reddit.

? Okay first you say that subs that are in sync are working together and make more bass, and when they’re out of sync they cancel eachother out.... but then you say that if you have two subs adjacent then one should be out of phase, because If they’re in phase they will cancel eachother out. This doesn’t make sense.

Just turn that knob until it sounds better. You have ears don't you

Man I got like 30 seconds into it and already I know there is misinformation. Phase isn’t a setting on the speaker it’s a physics issue with how sound travels through air and when audio is out of phase there is too much air moving in the same place so you get a lack of of loudness because there isn’t enough air to move. The sound waves are actively cancelling each other out. They smash into each other at exactly the same speed and almost cancel each other out. This results in a perceived lack of loudness. If you perceive this try playing with the phase, a lot of times inverting the phase will help or at least give you a better representation of where your loudness is sitting at.

Now we can listen to Biggie Smalls not Biggie Nulls. I just laughed at myself, by myself, out loud in my room. It's time to go outside.

Wives are never in phase with their husbands when it comes to audio😕.

First wrong information is phase do not polarity on a amps to send to a speaker, it change the sound wave. The live will be the live and the ground will be the ground. LEARN THAT.

you talk too much without showing the physical activity, not the mental one, because I wasn't interested, I'm wasting my time looking at a fool like a technician who doesn't interest me
