About the Lissajous measurement

In facilities for sound recording (such as broadcasting studios), the distance between a microphone and a sound source is automatically measured from the phase difference. The Lissajous waveform helps you obtain the optimal positioning of a dynamic microphone or a condenser microphone.

▌What is a phase difference?

A slight difference between two sound waves is
called a phase difference. The sound is equally	L
fed into the left/right sides of the microphone if it
is directly in front of the sound source. However,	R
a slight time difference is produced between
the left and right channels if the sound source is	A phase difference
slightly off either to the left side or right side of the microphone.
