Surround Sound
Cubase provides integrated surround sound features with support for several formats. All audio-related channels and busses can handle multi-channel speaker configurations. A channel in the MixConsole can contain either complete surround mixes or an individual speaker channel which is part of a surround setup.
VST MultiPanner
The VST MultiPanner plug-in allows you to position a sound source in the surround field or to modify existing premixes. The plug-in distributes the incoming audio in various proportions to the output surround channels.
Constant Power Panning
The VST MultiPanner plug-in uses constant power panning laws. This means that the power of a source channel is identical to the power of the corresponding output signal.

Constant Power Panning

The VST MultiPanner plug-in uses constant power panning laws. This means that the power of a source channel is identical to the power of the corresponding output signal.

Constant power laws ensure that the overall volume as perceived by the listener is always the same, regardless of the signal panning. This allows you to move the sound source in the pan area, disable specific speaker channels, or use the divergence controls without experiencing any volume changes.
