One sound, placed anywhere
Spatial Sound Tools comes from a simple conviction: moving a sound through space should be musical and repeatable — not a fight with channels and panners. So we built one engine that does it, and ten plugins that play it.
How the engine works
Every plugin takes one mono input and places that sound at a point within a horizontal ring of eight speakers around the listener — then moves it within that ring, sample by sample. Because the input is mono, there's no left/right image to fight with: the plugin owns the whole space and can move your sound cleanly to any direction.
What changes between plugins is only how the sound travels. What changes between studios is only the final step — how that ring maps onto your actual playback system:
- Discrete 8-channel ring — each output drives the speaker at its matching angle.
- Dolby Atmos beds (7.1.4, 7.1.2) — the ring is re-panned onto the bed's surround speakers; height and LFE stay silent because the motion is horizontal.
- Stereo fold-down — so you can still hear and check the movement on a regular two-speaker setup.
Design the motion once on the ring; the plugin handles delivering it faithfully wherever you're listening.
Position is an angle, counter-clockwise: 0° front, 90° left, 180° behind, 270° right.
