Hi-Fi Corner Tip No3 - Get In Phase

In phase - this is a hi-fi buff expression that really is very simple to understand. To make sure your speakers are 'in phase', and therefore the drive units of your loudspeakers are working together (i.e. the bit of the speaker that created the volume are pushing in and out together) you must make sure that the 'plus or red mark' on the speaker is attached to the 'plus or red mark' on the amplifier.

If they are not connected together, one speaker will be thrusting whilst the other will be receding. Whilst this may be fun in other aspects of life, it isn't the best method of ensuring high quality sound.
