Stereo Pan

Purpose

The Stereo Pan device splits an audio signal into a left and right channel based on the setting of the Pan Position Control.

Controls

Left and Right Level

Indicates the gain that is being applied to the left or right output according to the setting of the Pan Position control. The left output is the signal at the top output node. The right output is the signal at the bottom output node.

Position

Determines the position of the input signal between the left and right outputs by adjusting the relative level of the two outputs.

Pan Transfer Characteristic



Left Gain (red) and Right Gain (blue) in dB plotted as a function of Pan Position.

The following table shows the breakpoints of the pan transfer graph. Note that in the center position the Left and Right gains are each -3dB.
