Warranty ................Back cover INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Radial Phazer. The Phazer is a device that allows you to quickly adjust the phase response of an audio signal to create new and exciting tones. This owner's manual ™... -
Page 3: Design Overview
The Phazer exploits this phenomenon and presents it as a simple, fun and musical tool for the audio engineer. For instance, the Phazer can be used to shift the close mic's signal into alignment with the distance mic to create a fuller, richer sound when the two mic signals are combined. -

Page 6: Connections And Set Up
There are two basic methods for connecting the Phazer: 1. Console Insert Connection - This is the most common connec- tion. The Phazer is placed in the signal path using the "insert" point at the console (or studio patchbay). Determine the type of insert points your console is equipped with. - Page 7 3.8kHz 3. Insert the Phazer into the microphone or direct box channel you would like to phase align. Keep in mind that the Phazer should be processing the signal that arrives at the mixing console fi rst. This would be the signal from the closest of the two mics, or a direct box since electricity travels faster than sound waves.

Page 8: Using The Phase Section
The phase section is tuned by ear using three controls. To best hear the effect of each control set your mixer controls for both signals (one with the Phazer inserted and one without) to equal volume and panned center in your monitors. - Page 9 The following diagrams plot the phase response at different posi- tions of the SHIFT control. The gentle curve displaying phase shift increases (in degrees) as the control is turned. Radial's unique phase curves and class-A analog electronics combine to make the Phazer sound musical. +150 +100 0°...

fi lter controls to hear their effect. The fi lter sec- tion is designed to roll-off high frequencies above a variable cut-off point allowing the Phazer's effect to be focused on the fundamental frequencies. Before adjusting the fi lter section set the controls as follows. -

"tune" the phase response would have been to move the mic around the studio until a sweet spot was found. Next, insert the Phazer into the DI signal path. While mic placement is still very important, the Phazer gives you another approach. Instead of moving the mic around the studio to fi... - Page 12 Combining the JDX with a microphone can produce good results. The Phazer can take it to the next level by to aligning the direct output of the JDX with the mic signal, allowing you to dial-in huge sounding guitar tones in a fl...

Phazer adjusted to a sound you like record the result to a new track. Q: Can I use the Phazer on stage on a bass amp to improve the mix in my monitors? A: Yes. Bass players often complain of hot spots on stage where the sound can be very boomy or where the bass will completely disappear. -
