cable length needed to create phase shift?

writes:
how much of a difference in cable length would it take to create a
noticeable phase difference between two signals coming from the same
source simultaneously? i.e., wouldn't a 1000' xlr cable arrive at the
pre, recorder, etc. much later than the signal that only had to travel
through a 25' xlr cable?
Well, the phase shift for a given delay depends on the frequency,
however allowing for velocity factor, the signals travel through a mic
cable at about 600 million feet per second. That's about 1.6
microseconds per 1000 feet.
At 1 kHz, that would be about 0.6 degrees of phase shift. I'd say that
wouldn't be noticable.
