Class D amplifiers have very little phase shift


Too many diagrams to post here, so I just blogged it:

The 20 degrees at 2 kHz argument is bunk.

Ya do have to wonder about the obsession about phase and then throw it all away with 2nd order or worse or wire the midrange out of phase speakers... 



it’s a system people...
Oh, so to be clear, the phase angle of the impedance refers to the relationship of the voltage to current.

The phase angle of the output refers to timing.

The only thing they share is that impedance and output are complex numbers. That is, they have a magnitude and phase. None of those four numbers are equivalent.
