  • Page 103 SmartPan The Max Air panner has an automatic function called SmartPan that prevents the dis- appearance of the audio signal during panning if some of that Main Section’s busses are not assigned. For example, if a channel is assigned to a 5.1 Main Section output but does not send anything to the center Main bus, SmartPan automatically uses a stereo pan law so the signal is still present when panned to the center.
