[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 19581, member: 126"] Re: Polarity invert toms ? There are two different kinds of polarity. The OP is asking about "absolute polarity" which is about the integrity of even a single audio stream. You are talking about interference caused by relative polarity between multiple different paths of the same audio stream. The OP wasn't asking about this, but I agree it is the more likely problem in sound reinforcement, whether is it interference between multiple mics, or acoustic and reinforced paths, or whatever. One simple rule is for interference to make a significant difference the two sources need to be similar in level. The difference between acoustic and reinforced drum levels, depends very much on the scale of the system. If you are small enough that you don't reinforce the entire drum kit it's not much of an issue, if large enough that you easily overpower the drums, once again a non-issue. If at playback levels where they compete, relative polarity matters. [/QUOTE]
