Stereo Panning and Mid/Side ProcessingElement-Wise Processing: Two-Channel Audio
9.1 Introduction: Stereo Audio Signals
It is common for audio signals to be played on stereo systems consisting of two speakers (i.e., headphones or loudspeakers). A recorded, mono signal from a single microphone is converted to a two-channel, stereo signal to be played through one or both of the speakers at the same time.
