Page 14: What Is Variphase
Operation Manual What is Variphase? Variphase provides a means of shifting the phase of a signal far more accurately than with a simple polarity invert switch, and without moving the microphone. Its important to note that Variphase does not delay the signal; instead it uses the phase response characteristics of analogue filters.
