  • Page 18 CS-8 Series PHS-28 Rev1.01, Dec. 2013 The shown amplitude responses are coming into being when mixing the original signal with the phase shifted one fifty-fifty. The phase response shown here, however, is the pure phaser stage output, because it is more of interest than the mixed result and gives more insight of the system properties.
  • Page 19 CS-8 Series PHS-28 Rev1.01, Dec. 2013 Reso: The influencing variables on this parameter will change the self- resonance of the phaser chain, by feedback the audio signal at a selected stage to the input (Fig. 3). With that selective gains at certain frequencies will occur, namely exactly at that frequencies where the notches are (Fig.
