DUOPAN is a new psychoacoustic panner designed to bring natural spatial width and depth to your mixes, optimised for headphone listening, yet translating beautifully to loudspeakers.

 

Conventional panning can sound unnatural on headphones, with images appearing inside the head and making it difficult to achieve smooth, linear movement across the stereo field. DUOPAN solves this.

 

Built on APL’s psychoacoustically calibrated Time/Amplitude trade-off model for localisation, DUOPAN delivers seamless and natural control of spatial character, letting you find the ideal balance between spaciousness and precision. On headphones, it achieves a binaural-like imaging, placing sounds slightly outside the head for a more natural and immersive experience.

 

DUOPAN can also correct spatial imbalances in stereo recordings, and route its output to any loudspeaker pair within a multichannel mix, adding natural depth and spaciousness.

This algorithm makes a lot of sense to me. I haven’t tried it yet but it should sound much more natural.
