MUIC & ACOUTIC – OUND PHYIC & PYCHOACOUTIC CALCULATOR
Spatial Audio Azimuth
A precise tool.
What is the Spatial Audio Azimuth & How does it work?
Spatial audio azimuth refers to the horizontal angle of a sound source relative to the listener’s forward direction, typically measured in degrees from -180° (directly left) to +180° (directly right).
Elevation, on the other hand, is the vertical angle of a sound source relative to the listener’s horizontal plane, ranging from -90° (directly below) to +90° (directly above).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is spatial audio azimuth?
Spatial audio azimuth is the horizontal angle of a sound source relative to the listener’s forward direction, measured from -180° (left) to +180° (right).
How do I calculate azimuth in spatial audio?
To calculate azimuth, determine the horizontal angle of the sound source relative to your forward position, ranging from -180° for directly left to +180° for directly right.
What is the difference between azimuth and elevation in spatial audio?
Azimuth refers to the horizontal angle (left or right), while elevation refers to the vertical angle (up or down) of a sound source relative to the listener’s position.
Can you explain what HRTF means in spatial audio?
HRTF stands for Head-Related Transfer Function, which describes how sound is perceived by the ears based on its location in space.
Why is azimuth important in music production?
Azimuth helps in creating a sense of direction and space in stereo or surround sound recordings, enhancing the listening experience.
How does azimuth affect sound localization?
Azimuth affects how sounds are perceived as coming from different directions around the listener, contributing to a more immersive audio environment.
What is the range for spatial audio elevation?
Spatial audio elevation ranges from -90° (directly below) to +90° (directly above) the listener’s horizontal plane.
