The loudspeaker crossover introduces the same effect. A slight digression... For a long time I've wondered if the ear, being a non-linear 'device' can actually detect absolute phase at low frequencies. i.e. if the compressions and rarefactions were swapped, would it sound different? To test this with a mono source presumably all you'd have to do would be to have an asymmetric signal and swap the speaker leads, but how would you objectively test the listener? -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
