What is it?: In an optimal listening environment, the soundstage is considered to be parallel to the floor, with origin point at the listeners head. The ideal listening position is considered to be perfectly facing the main sound reproduction source(s) at an optimal distance. This property describes the radial position (360 degree measure) on this listening plane. An imaginary axis can be drawn straight ahead of the listener with the imaginary line serving as the origin. Rightward angle measures are positive and leftward, negative.

[angle]
[CSS2|CSS2.1]: Type: Explicit; Description:
Refers to an angle off of the reference line in the sound stage plane (-360 to 360 degrees.) '0deg' is directly ahead of the listener, '90deg'(-270deg) is to the right, '180deg'(-180deg) behind, and '270deg'(-90deg) to the left.

Example: Ext/Doc: .rightdude { azimuth: 45deg }; In-Line: <p STYLE="azimuth: 45deg">text from the right</p>

Notes

Before its inclusion in CSS2, this property was first proposed in the W3C Working Draft "Aural Cascading Style Sheets (ACSS)" (1/7/97, http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Speech/NOTE-ACSS)
