Offset
The “Offset” control defines the base pan position. It defaults to 0 degrees
(Center), and ranges from -105 degrees to +105 degrees. Note that +/-90
degrees will put your incoming signal completely in the right/left channel,
respectively. Going out to 105 degrees on either side will push the signal
“beyond the speaker.”
Width
The “Width” control defines how far around the offset that the pan position
can be modulated. It defaults to 180 degrees, but can go “beyond the
speakers” at up to 210 degrees of modulation (which is from -105 to +105).
There is no right or wrong setting combination for Offset and Width. Note
however, that if you set the Offset to say, +90 degrees, and Width to 180,
the position of the audio will never go beyond 105 degrees.
Smoothing
The “Smoothing” knob controls how smoothly the pan position will
transition from one spot to another. Set this knob to “Hard” if you want
hard jumps between pan positions, and to “Soft” if you want softer, more
gradual transitions. If a left-to-right or right-to-left direction is selected,
smoothing will control how hard the “snap back” will be.
Input and Output Level
The Input and Output level controls are used to (you guessed it) boost or
attenuate either the input or output of PanMan. The default setting of the
controls approximates "unity gain" (what goes in comes out the same level)
and should provide the best overall "normal" sound quality when set to
these levels. The LED’s beneath the Input and Output knobs provide visual
display of the input and output signal levels. The yellow LED indicates that
the signal is 6dB below clipping. The red LED indicates maximum signal
