Am I missing the polarity switch? Have looked in the iOS app and Audio Architect. I am not seeing it. Have looked at the "manual".

[Tim McCulloch]

You will need to call JBL.  It involves tea leaves and chicken bones and a visit by the ghost of Marie Laveau - and even that might not work.*

A polarity-flipping XLR adapter might be easier.

For a Really Good Time choose the File menu and Print Parameter Values (htm file to your browser).  I'm getting old and blind (har!) but I didn't find a parameter for output polarity; a find-in-page search didn't reveal a "pol" anywhere.  Hmmm.  It's an interesting look at the stuff you can change (EQs for days) and a whole bunch of stuff you can no touchy.

Harman has a whole bunch of money behind the foundational design of this thing.

* Edit ps - there has to be a way to do polarity or how do they do the cardioid setting (in my example)?  When I was looking at the parameters file I was not connected to the physical device, just looking at the device in Audio Architect 1.95.

Futher ah-ha! moment:  the parameter is called "Invert".  In Object (22.15.x) Channel Processing Output.  Access to this requires a Mayan sacrifice. /satire

Kent,
Create a new custom panel.  (Add Devices Ribbon Bar, New, Standard)(Click ok For Panel Name)

Find the parameter Tim pointed to on the Venue Tree on the left (Room1, SRX828P, SRX828P, CH1 Processing Output, Invert[1], and CH2, and drag from tree onto new panel, click "button - latching".

Launch Panel, buy clicking Launch panel on ribbon.

I liked the Voodoo ritual...

The parameter dump is illuminating.

David-
Not sure how I missed this  Wow, thanks for the info! I don't mind things being out of site, but geez I believe the SRX812 etc have a button on the panel... and JBL tech support is hit or miss in my experience even as a dealer...

Good stuff Tim!
I have been reading about Tiahaunaco so I was into giving the ceremony a try! Dern it.

Even better, open the existing control panel for the sub, right click in the title bar and hit "convert to custom panel," and add the button where JBL left it out!

Update: I created a button. I found that if I selected only CH1 Processing output INVERT it worked. Kind of. When I convert to custom panel, I lose a bunch of buttons & display. The button in the off position sounds weird, low output and distorted. BUT I was able to store the 80Hz preset to Preset 8, connect with AA and press the button to invert and store it at 80Hz (-POL). 

I called Harman and talked to a guy who is calling me back after he talks to an expert.

So some chicken bones ARE required to accomplish this seemingly basic function

After convert to custom panel and added the invert ON button. I had also copy/pasted the mute button to see if I could just re-assign the parameters.

Are you saying it has low output and distortion when you invert just one of the drivers?
