So the reverse in polarity on one cabinet has to take place right then during tracking.
Remember that a figure of 8 microphones front side is positive polarity, while the rear side is reversed, so this is why you must flip the second cabinets phase. As you can't flip the phase on the rear of the mic!
Hope this helps!
