What is phase distortion?

Keeping your signal in-phase is akin to making sure that when you play guitar, the sound coming from the low E string plays at the same time as the G string when it comes out of your amp. You may take this for granted but the fact is, phase distortion can cause an instrument to get lost in the mix and make a bass sound muddy. Phase distortion can occur at all frequencies but is most noticeable in the bass or low frequencies. Try facing your stereo speakers close together and reverse the wires on one cabinet so that it is wired ‘out of phase’ and you will immediately become an ‘in-phase disciple’.
