phasing

refers

to

the

connecting

of

two

stereo

speakers

to

the

Receiver

in

the

same

way.

That

is,

the

terminal

on

the

Receiver

should

be

If

you

have

followed

the

suggestions

mentioned

under

;

your

speakers

should

already

be

Speakers

To

check

for

proper

phasing

by

ear:

1.

Rotate

the

counterclockwise

to

the

OFF

position.

2.

Play

a

with

a

single

singing

voice,

or

a

solo

instrument.

3.

Stand

in

a

position

equidistant

between

the

two

speakers,

If

the

voice

or

instrument

appears

to

be

coming

from

an

area

directly

between

the

two

speakers,

the

speakers

are

in

phase.

If

the

sound

appears

to

be

coming

from

two

individual

speakers,

they

have

been

connected

incorrectly

and

are

out

of

phase.

To
