13. Center the Balance control once again, so that you hear the mid-tone exclusively from
the left speaker, and higher tone from the right only.
14. Click the Mono switch. Notice that now a blend of the (channel 1) mid-range tone and
(channel 2) higher tone issue from both speakers.
15. To confirm that for yourself, slide the Balance knob to the extreme left. Although sound
is now issuing only from the left speaker, you can hear both tones.
16. Click Stop in the Sound player.
Note: the Mono switch has no effect on channels 3 and 4. These two channels are never blended
with channels 1 and 2 on output.
4.4.2 PAN
The Pan control looks much like the Balance slider, but has special abilities. Like Talk, Pan is only
available when the one of the two Mic input Types is chosen.
Figure 37
A Pan slider is provided for both channels of External Audio
sources (when Mic is selected). Sliding the Pan knob left or
right actually moves (or ‘pans’) the audio from its original
channel onto its neighbor.
For example, when the Pan knob for Mic 2 is at the
extreme right, all of the sound from that source is sent to
output channel 2. Moving the slider leftward places an
increasing amount of the sound from Mic 2 on output
channel 1.
When the slider reaches the extreme left position, the sound from Mic 2 is now entirely sent to
output channel 1.
Hint: In their default center position, the two Pan controls have exactly the same effect as clicking
Mono. Actually, this is why a Mono is not needed in this case.
Pan thus provides precise control over where the audio from either Mic input is heard – whether
exclusively on output channel 1, 2, or whether differing levels from either source is sent to both
outputs.
