Hi all,
I am making this post so I can better understand when sub phase problems typically arise in space. I am talking about cases that speakers are connected in "mono" (by that I mean that there is one rca cable getting out of the amplifier being split to two rca cables that end up to the subs)
The example I have created here shows two setups that according to my friend (he is not an expert thus the post here) claims that positioning two subs, either in the two A positions or either in the B positions can create phase issues.
According to my friend for not having phase issues there are two options:
a. having both subs on the furniture
or
b. having both subs at the side of the furniture (try to avoid the temptation to discuss the topic that subs should not be atop of furniture, this is discussed more here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/measurements-with-a-tiny-sub.42413/)
but I kindly ask you to help me understand what might cause any phase misalignemnts. To my brain I find that both the two As and the two Bs will not have any phase issues since distances to ear are quite close. We are talking about listening positions in the order of 1.5 to 3.5 meters.
When do phase problems withing two subs really arise? You might also want to note that those tiny subs only have two options for phase alignment, it is either 0 or 180 degrees so fine tuning them is not possible.
Thanks a lot
Have a nice weekend.
