L. Phasing
1. Correct phasing between a "small" speaker, like the MMC 2, and the Bass Panel is much more difficult to
detect than an out-of-phase condition between left and right speakers. The ear/brain is less sensitive to
phase shift problems at lower frequencies and therefore, making it more difficult to detect. However, an out-of-
phase condition between the MMC 2s and the Bass Panel will result in a perceived frequency imbalance. A
"suckout" in the midbass due to an out-of-phase condition will subjectively make the MMC 2s seem "bright"
with excessive high frequencies.
2. The manufacturer of a full-range speaker gives considerable attention to achieving correct phasing between
the midrange and bass drivers. To get the full benefit of your high performance MMC 2s, we suggest that
you get the help of your dealer or a technician to ensure that the phasing between the MMC 2s and your
woofer is correct.
