I/O Channel Configurations

Speaker Order

In some DAWs, automatic routing features may inadvertently change channel settings. If this happens, channels may be assigned in a different order than the one shown in the table below. In such cases, please use the channel configuration functions of your DAW or tools like Sound Particles AudioMatrix to correctly reassign the channels.

3DX Lite

The 3DX Lite input and output channels are assumed to be assigned to speakers in the following order.

Name	Speaker List
	1	2
Mono	C
Stereo	L	R
Binaural(HPL)	L	R

3DX Standard

The 3DX Standard input and output channels are assumed to be assigned to speakers in the following order.

Name	Speaker List
	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24

Ambisonic Format

These formats are not available in the Lite Edition. Today, it is recommended to use the unmarked ambisonic channel configs in most cases. You will rarely need to use the legacy format, FuMa.

Channel Config	Channels	Normalization	Channel Order
1st Order Ambisonic	4	SN3D	ACN
2nd Order Ambisonic	9	SN3D	ACN
3rd Order Ambisonic	16	SN3D	ACN
1st Order Ambisonici(FuMa)	4	maxN	FuMa
2nd Order Ambisonici(FuMa)	9	maxN	FuMa
3rd Order Ambisonici(FuMa)	16	maxN	FuMa
