Unlike the situation where you are trying to null out the noise in a small 
confined environment such as a ear phone, the noise sources in the 
amplifier and the possible locations of reception of the noise have many 
path length differences and multiple frequencies. You may find a location 
for the microphone in one location that works to null out some noise but 
not noise from the other locations. Also, it is not phase shifting that 
would be required but time delay or linear phase shift with frequency.
