How to use this tool

  1. Enter pan.
  2. Use consistent units shown beside each input. Run the calculation and review the assumptions below.

Try this example

{
  "pan": 0
}

Accuracy and scope

Ideal equal-power pan law for a mono source; correlated speaker acoustics and DAW-specific pan laws differ.
