Radial PhazeQ
Radial Engineering’s PhazeQ is a 500 series phase adjustment tool that works double-duty as a phase cancelling device and summing equalizer. A variable phase control shifts the incoming signal from 0 to 180, and then extends the effect to 360 using a polarity invert switch. The blend control is set to 100 percent wet when the PhazeQ is used in tandem with another track. When used by itself, the blend is rotated counterclockwise to set the desired wet-dry signal mix. To further focus the effect, a variable low pass filter allows the engineer to dial out high frequencies, thus only applying phase cancellation to the bottom end. This creates interesting effects while leaving natural air.
