Frequency Difference Method
With this method, both channels produce uninterrupted medium frequency current but of a slightly different
frequency. As an example, channel 1 produces 4000Hz and channel 2 produces 4080Hz. The difference
between the two frequencies produces a “beat frequency” of 80Hz (the difference between the two channels).
This beat frequency is created because the two channels will be in phase 80 times per second, thus adding
their respective amplitudes together for intensied stimulation.
