it will appear to originate from that side.The ear-brain system evolved to use these cues to determine the location of sounds, an important evolutionary advantage.

Frequency variations can also affect perceived directivity of sound. Therefore the tightness of the stereo field (and hence phantom center image) is highly dependent on the frequency response of the speakers producing it being matched as closely as possible.

These psycho-acoustic properties can be used to artificially place sounds within a stereo field as is done in
