What is Speaker Polarity?

Speaker polarity indicates whether your speaker is wired correctly. Speakers wired in reverse (out of phase) cause significant audio problems. This is the most common error in speaker installation and is easily corrected once identified.

Bass Cancellation

Out-of-phase speakers cause low frequencies to cancel, resulting in weak bass response.

Muddy Sound

Phase errors create destructive interference that muddies the overall sound quality.

Poor Imaging

Reversed polarity destroys stereo imaging and soundstage depth.

Reduced Quality

Overall audio quality suffers when speakers are wired incorrectly.

How It Works

1

Play Test Signal

Send the proprietary pop test signal through your speaker system

2

Hold Near Speaker

Position your device near the speaker being tested

3

Get Instant Results

Advanced DSP analysis displays polarity result instantly

The app uses advanced DSP analysis to determine if your speaker cone is moving in the correct direction, providing clear results with confidence levels.

Key Features

Accurate Polarity Detection

Industry-leading DSP algorithms analyze the acoustic waveform to determine speaker polarity with high confidence. Results displayed clearly as positive (correct) or negative (reversed).

Multiple Output Methods

Send test signals via built-in speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth, or AirPlay. Connect to any audio system for testing flexibility.

Adaptive Speaker Analysis

Automatically adjusts analysis parameters for different speaker types including subwoofers, woofers, midrange drivers, tweeters, and full-range speakers.

Speaker Profiles

Save and organize your speakers with custom names, locations, and notes. Track test history for each speaker over time.

Complete Test History

Full log of all polarity tests with timestamps, results, and confidence levels. Export data for professional documentation.

Exportable Test Signal

Download the test signal as WAV or M4A to burn to CD, load on external players, or use with professional playback systems.
