| Absolute polarity in headphones?
I just discovered while testing a new mic pre that the polarity switch makes a big difference in how my voice sounds in my headphones. Apparently the electronic sound can be in phase or out of phase with the sound transmitted by bone conduction.
If using a single mic to record a vocal is it important to maintain absolute polarity? In other words, is there a downside to inverting the polarity of the vocal chain to get a better sound in the headphones? Is there a headphone amp that allows you to reverse the polarity of only the headphones?
