· Cool Edit Pro v1.1 (Win95/ NT).

· You should use a surround sound receiver/decoder for monitoring, but it is not necessary for the PanHandler to operate. You can use professional and consumer level decoders (which are readily available in any consumer electronics store). There are also a number of multimedia surround sound speaker systems and sound cards available. This requirement will vary depending upon the media used for the final product (ie: Film, Video, and/or Multimedia).

· It is also highly recommended that you get the best audio cable to connect the line output your sound card to the input of the Surround Sound receiver/decoder. A poorly designed cable only adds noise, limits frequency response, and causes a variety of phase and amplitude errors. A surround sound receiver/decoder is very sensitive to amplitude and phase errors.

Bring your project's soundtrack to life with the same 5-speaker surround sound encoding used in theaters and home theater systems. Fly-bys, precise stereo imaging and mix automation are as easy as dragging your "pan point" from one side of the PanHandler's window to another! Once you have produced a stereo soundtrack encoded for surround sound with the PanHandler, it can be accurately played back with any surround sound decoder or receiver. If played back with normal stereo equipment, the soundtrack will still have a wider sound with excellent imaging.
