the desired virtual location. In all but the X-Y mode, a stereo microphone
simulation is employed which will yield a more diverse sound field.
• X-Y – A standard panning algorithm that only changes the amplitude of
the signal to the various buses in relation to the position of the panner.
This operation is well known and is used in all conventional panners.
• hRTF – Mainly a cross-talk canceler using simplified HRTFs (Head
Related Transfer Functions). If the listener is positioned exactly in the
sweet spot of a ±30° speaker setup, an extreme panning position like full
left should affect the signal such that it will only be heard with the left
ear and cancelled out on the right. It may also be used for enlarging the
perceived width of a recording.
• sPheRe – This mode emulates a spherical microphone as shown in chap-
ter 3.4.3.6. The spherical microphone has two capsules mounted into a
sphere having a diameter of about 18 cm. The sphere incorporates different
effects on the two channels, including amplitude, delay and shadowing of
the high frequencies on the channel which is not facing the source. This
mode is only useful in two-channel mode, and presents a very accurate
sound field.
