Response of the All Pass Filter for 1st Order phase shift at frequencies of 300Hz, 1kHz and 10kHz

The response of the filter for a 2nd order shift is shown below with the Q control set to 1, at frequencies of 300Hz, 1kHz, and 10kHz, and also Q set to 6 (max) and 0.4 (min) at 1kHz. As can be seen, the filter response now tends from 360 at low frequencies to 0 at high frequencies, and Q controls the rate at which the phase changes (i.e. the slope) around the transition point. With low Q, the phase changes gradually across the whole frequency range. With high Q, the phase changes rapidly in the transition area, and is unchanging at 360°/0° over the remainder of the frequency spectrum. Hence, the 2nd order all-pass provides the user with the additional control of shaping the phase shift ‘window’.

Response of the all pass filter for 2nd order phase shift with Q=1 at frequencies of 300Hz, 1kHz and 10kHz and also with Q=6 at (max) and Q=0.4 (min) at 1kHz

Note: Both filters are all-pass with a flat amplitude response between 20Hz and 20kHz; only the phase response changes with frequency.
