Azimuth

Position is described in terms of an angle within the range -360deg to 360deg. The value 0deg is directly ahead of the individual, in the center of the sound stage. 90deg is directly to the individual's right, 180deg is directly behind him, and 270deg (or, equivalently and more conveniently, -90deg) directly to his left.

left-side

This value is equivalent to 270deg.

far-left

This value is equivalent to 300deg. When used with the keyword behind, this value is equivalent to 240deg.

left

This value is equivalent to 320deg. When used with the keyword behind, this value is equivalent to 220deg.

center-left

This value is equivalent to 340deg. When used with the keyword behind, this value is equivalent to 200deg.

center

This value is equivalent to 0deg. When used with the keyword behind, this value is equivalent to 180deg.

center-right

This value is equivalent to 20deg. When used with the keyword behind, this value is equivalent to 160deg.

right

This value is equivalent to 40deg. When used with the keyword behind, this value is equivalent to 140deg.

far-right

This value is equivalent to 60deg. When used with behind, this value is equivalent to 120deg.

right-side

This value is equivalent to 90deg.

leftwards

Moves the sound to the left, relative to the current angle. More precisely, subtracts 20 degrees. Arithmetic is carried out modulo 360 degrees. Note that leftwards is more accurately described as "turned counter-clockwise," since it always subtracts 20 degrees counter-clockwise, even if the inherited azimuth is already behind the listener (in which case, as a consequence of leftwards, the sound actually appears to move to the right).

rightwards

Moves the sound to the right, relative to the current angle. More precisely, adds 20 degrees. Arithmetic is carried out modulo 360 degrees. Note that rightwards is more accurately described as "turned clockwise," since it always adds 20 degrees clockwise, even if the inherited azimuth is already behind the listener (in which case, as a consequence of rightwards, the sound actually appears to move to the left).

inherit

Use the same computed value as the parent element for this property.
