Why doesn’t the MA-4HP have phase reverse?
One less source of degradation in the signal path as well as requiring the user to reverse the polarity of the signal by more deliberate means ( i.e., using a reverse polarity cable on the input or outputs as necessary). In addition, as the MA-4HP was designed with 2 independent, isolated balanced outputs per channel, there is tremendous flexibility in configuring the signal path. For example, the user may want reverse the polarity of an additional microphone on a source – as in the common case of top and bottom snare/tom mics – and would implement a reverse polarity cable on the input to the mic amp when setting up the mic in question. Another scenario would be the potential to use one of the two outputs available on each channel to create an M/S matrix without the compromises involved in using additional equipment such as a mixer. This can easily be accomplished by using a cable to reverse the polarity of one of the outputs of the Side mic in an M/S microphone arrangement and then fe
