[QUOTE="Dale Christenson, post: 19578, member: 221"] Re: Polarity invert toms ? I don't think it's the audience that you're trying to "put into polarity". It's the microphone and how it interacts with the system. Specifically the speaker(s). I would agree that if the mic is on top of the drum, you may consider reversing the polarity. Try an A-B test to see the difference. I am going to try this out later in sound check today. I will report what I find. Last night, I had the mixer behind the speaker stack for a number of reasons not related to this thread, but I reversed the kick polarity. In doing so, I heard an immediate increase in kick sub output. I went out front to see what difference it made and was surprised to find the kick had more attack as well. I am going to do some more experimenting on this to gain some more data. [/QUOTE]
