Center channel phase question.


How do you determine if the center channel of your HT is in phase with your main speakers?

Thanks.

Thanks all. I think it's probably in-phase, but I'm going to roll the leads tonight just to check it out.

I haven't had any issues, but I do run my three front speakers full range and got to thinking about the phase of all speakers, especially since I use a different amp for the main channel.
Cdwallace, I really don't think this has anything to do with my question. I was talking about checking the phase, not delays.

Delays are easy to set in most processors, especially one's like my Arcam where you just plug in the distance from the speakers to your listening position and the processor employs the correct dealys.
Cdwallce, I'm not trying to pick at you, so please don't take it that way, but I think your wrong. Phase, as I understand it, is when the cones move in motion with one another. You can have two speakers located at an identical distance from your listening position and still be out of phase with one another.

Of course having speakers located at different distances is of concern as well. However, this is something that virtually every processor I know of can easily account for with correct dealy settings.
