It's been a long time since I heard the explanation, but there is a ratio below which a foreground vocal will mask a
second microphone's pickup of that same vocal in the mix. The ratio of the amplitude is 1:3, as I recall. Can anyone
tell me what that effect (or law of physics or phenomenon) is called?
I think you may be referring to the 3 to 1 rule that explains how far away one mic has to be from a source than another to achieve basic isolation.
The Haas effect has to do with how many milliseconds of delay can be used before the delayed signal sounds like a discrete echo. Typically that's around 20 mSec.
