speaker, leaving the distance value of the nearest
speaker as is.
Step2: Increasing the distance value of a speaker
moves the localization of sound closer to the
speaker.
For example, to listen to sound in the left front

farther from you (here, the right speaker). To
move the localization of sound to the right,
increase the value of the right speaker, and vice
