We will take this opportunity to introduce the use of the Wrapped Phase Button .<br />

Figures 10.22 and 10.23 shows the tweeter phase curve, unwrapped and wrapped.<br />

Figure 10.22 and 10.23<br />

The reader may wonder if these figures are correct at all and if they have the same<br />

usefulness, at least visually. Well, the curves are absolutely correct; their visual<br />

usefulness is zero for the wrapped curve and low for the unwrapped. Difficulties in getting<br />

simple visual information from these curves arise because they are the sum of two<br />

effects. The first one is the devices own phase response. The second is the time of sound<br />

flight. The latter does affect the curves much more than the first one, completely burying<br />

it. The good news is that it is often possible to separate these two effects. However,<br />

the bad news is that this is not an easy task. Trying to explain it, without going into heavy<br />

mathematics is very difficult. The bibliography in this user manual should be considered<br />

as an integral part of it here. Within CLIO the time of flight can be removed in several<br />

different ways, with different degrees of accuracy. The most accurate is also the most<br />

complicated and is how we are going to proceed. Fig. 10.24 introduces us to Minimum<br />

Phase, which is the heart of the whole procedure.<br />

Figure 10.24<br />

We obtained it by selecting minimum phase in the MLS phase Drop Down Menu (right<br />

click on the phase speed button).<br />

Certain well-behaved systems are defined as Minimum Phase. In these, the phase<br />

response can be obtained from the magnitude response by calculation. Another kind<br />

of phase (we promise it is the last one), is Excess Phase. This is the algebraic difference<br />
