Set the pan law for a concert in MainStage
Audio signals panned to the center position may sound louder than signals panned hard left or right. The Pan Law value determines the amount of volume reduction applied to audio that is panned to the center position.
Set the pan law
In the Channel Strips tab of the MainStage Concert Settings Inspector, choose one of the following pan law settings:
0 dB: With no change to the volume level, signals seem louder when panned to the center position, compared to extreme left or right pan positions.
−3 dB: A full-scale signal (0 dBfs) has a level of −3 dB when panned to the center position.
−3 dB compensated: A full-scale signal (0 dBfs) has a level of 0 dB when panned to the center position (or +3 dB when panned to extreme left or right positions).
-4.5 dB: A full scale signal (0 dBfs) has a level of –4.5 dB when panned to the center position.
-4.5 dB compensated: A full scale signal (0 dBfs) has a level of 0 dB when panned to the center position (or +4.5 dB when panned to the extreme left or right positions).
-6 dB: A full scale signal (0 dBfs) has a level of –6 dB when panned to the center position.
-6 dB compensated: A full scale signal (0 dBfs) has a level of 0 dB when panned to the center position (or +6 dB when panned to the extreme left or right positions).
