The soundstage is the mental visualization of the space a sound exists in. Or the environment we intuitively form around any perceived sound. The soundstage is implicitly shaped by the interplay of frequency, amplitude and panning. As well as HOW they emerge and develop over time. Too abstract?

Example of basic space manipulation

Please use headphones at a constant, medium listening level. Start with the reference. Continue with the rest. What changes, and how does the change affect your spatial impression, the material and/or size of the space?
