6 Speakers ˆ Speakers SPEAKER PHASING Phasing is the direction the sp eaker cone moves with re feren ce to the polari- ty of the con nection wires. Prope r phas- ing is import ant when you use mo re than one speaker in the same room or area. Out-of-phase spea kers can lose up to one-half of the ir potential volume , and can have a significantly de ...
