• Width slider (large panner only)—this slider both displays and controls the
width value. Width is a measure of how wide an area the sound seems to be
coming from on a scale of 0 to 360 degrees. At 0 and 360 degrees, the sound
seems to all come from a single speaker. At 180 degrees the sound seems to

and right channel angle. For example, in 5.1 SMPTE/ITU surround, the
default width is 60 degrees.
