= Out of Phase Stereo
{wiki=Out_of_Phase_Stereo}
Out of Phase Stereo refers to a specific audio phenomenon where two stereo channels (left and right) have opposite phase relationships, resulting in the cancellation of certain frequencies and alterations in how sound is perceived by the listener. In standard stereo audio, both channels are intended to work together, creating a sense of space and dimension. When audio is "out of phase," one channel peaks while the other channel dips at the same frequency, leading to interference.
