There is stereo panning and there is LCR panning. So what’s the difference and why would you want to
choose LCR panning? After all, it adds quite a cost to a console and stereo is stereo right?
Well, not really. Let’s just remind ourselves that Stereo panning simply adjusts the amount of signal
sent to the left and right outputs. The actual mix output may not be totally stereo, and probably
includes a high degree of spoken words as well as singing which is mono. This is particularly true in
Dramatic performances and Houses of Worship, and being able to pan voices to their true stage
position can be difficult in straight stereo. This is because we are always balancing the voices between
the left and right speaker positions. Some voice will always come out of both speakers unless panned
hard one way or the other.
