[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 19585, member: 126"] Re: Polarity invert toms ? A quick easy test for relative polarity between two mics is to patch them both into console inputs, turn them up to roughly the same gain when speaking into one or the other alone, then hold them both together and speak into both of them at the same time. If your vocal gets roughly twice as loud, they are in the same polarity, if your vocal gets thin with most of the bass dropping out, one is opposite polarity from the other. it depends on what difference you are talking about? I can't tell what you are thinking about. The OP seems to be talking about "absolute" polarity, at a best a subtle phenomenon, only audible on some types of waveforms, and not a huge concern for live sound reinforcement. I suspect you would be talking about relative polarity but I can't be completely sure. JR [/QUOTE]
