| Panning | Places the sound between left and right. Linear keeps a centered sound at full level; Equal Power keeps loudness steady while it moves. Choose the law in the device's header menu. |
| Stereo | Adjusts the difference between the left and right channels to change stereo width. |
| Invert Left | Reverses the polarity of the signal; the left-channel control affects only the left side. |
| Invert Right | Reverses the polarity of the right channel. |
| Swap | Exchanges the left and right audio channels. |
Work with this device
Start with a short passage that represents your material. Change one control at a time. Compare at a similar listening level, using the device's power control to bypass it. Save a version of the project before making a large change.
