Curt,
Don't get put off by technical chatter. :-)
You can check out "phasing" by mixing two mics to mono and holding
them side by side. With a "broadband" noise like traffic or wind in
trees, move one mic back and forwards and you should hear a phasing
effect.
If you can reverse the phase of one mic to produce a difference "S"
signal, you get a very strong effect which nearly cancels out when the
mics are equidistant.
For anyone experimenting with SASS and variants, the subtracted
signals can give more clues as to the differences in what the mics are
picking up. Ideally on any stereo system, objects in the centre should
cancel out and this is one reason why M-S gives a cleaner stereo
image.
