PsychoPan Black Friday deals put this stereo width plugin from W. A. Production at $19.96, 60% off, until Nov 29, 2026. It is a psychoacoustic tool that places sounds in height, depth and distance inside an ordinary stereo stream.
The maker says it grew out of cinema sound design, game audio and immersive production. It was built with sound designer Pan Athen, who has more than 30 years in game audio, film sound and immersive audio.
It works on level, timing and spectral cues to change where the listener hears a sound. The maker says the results translate across headphones, studio monitors, TV and theater systems.
Under the hood sits the HyperSpatial™ framework. The maker says it skips complicated acoustic measurements and gives you a hands-on interface instead.
The XY pad has built-in energy visualizers. Dragging sideways moves the sound across the horizontal plane using phase and time differences. Dragging up or down sets perceived elevation, above or below the horizon.
For film and TV work, the Cinesafe guidelines keep placement framed to the on-screen action. You can also push past them for effects that reach beyond the edges of the screen.
The Zone Module handles front-to-back placement. The maker says it emulates the spectral shifts our ears use to tell front from back, and that the effect holds up on standard stereo speakers.
The Distance Slider is percentage-based and split into five perceptual zones, from Close (meters) to Distant (tens of kilometers). Moving it drives five independent engines:
The interface is vector-based and resizable. Several live displays show what happens to the processed signal in real time, and each module has its own Bypass button for quick A/B checks.
Factory presets cover common placement jobs, from intimate whispers to distant rumbles, plus some more creative effects.
The feature list in short:
Yes. The PsychoPan Black Friday deal takes 60% off, which sets the plugin at $19.96 until Nov 29, 2026. It is a stereo width plugin from W. A. Production for placing sounds in 3D space within a stereo stream.
It shapes level, timing and spectral cues so sounds seem to sit higher, lower, nearer, farther, in front or behind. The maker says this encodes 3D placement into a standard stereo stream that translates to headphones, monitors and TV.
Level Attenuation, Proximity Effect, Width Loss, Distant Diffusion and Big Freakin Event. Together they handle volume loss, near-field closeness, stereo narrowing, reverb-tail diffusion and sub-bass weight as the Distance Slider moves from Close to Distant.
You get the plugin with its XY pad, Zone Module and Distance engine, factory presets, a zero-latency safety limiter, a resizable interface, a full PDF manual and a tutorial video.
