Are Your Stage Mics Out Of Polarity? How to test and why it matters.
This video was originally released in 2010 as a 3 part series, I have cleaned it up and combined them into a single video re-release. Did you know that your kick drum is Out of Polarity? On al properly wired sound systems, if you mic the inside of the kick, you should be reversing polarity of the kick mick. I explain why and how to test as well as describe how to set the polarity correctly for your stage mics.
