Balance adjusts the relative volume of left and right channels.
This balance control is quite subtle: it can adjust balance by ±6dB, so left is twice as loud as right or vice versa, in 0.5dB increments.
Adjusting for correct balance
Adjusting a system for correct left/right balance is straightforward and worthwhile.
- Make sure you have several tracks on the current playlist.
- Turn the volume completely down. (Test signals can be loud).
- From the plugin menu, select .
- Press “play” (or fast-forward), then gently increase the volume. You should hear a fairly loud rushing noise sound. In a well-adjusted system, this should appear to be positioned centrally between the speakers.
- From the plugin menu, select and adjust the balance to the left (negative) or right (positive). Press fast-forward to hear the new balance position immediately.
- Adjust the balance until the pink-noise sound appears to be centrally positioned.
- Switch off the test signal by selecting .
