SPAT Stereo

Binaural Post-Processing

Apple

Included with Logic Pro

Binaural Post-Processing is a psychoacoustic imaging plugin that simulates arbitrary sound source positions in three-dimensional space when processing standard stereo signals. It employs compensation modes optimized for different playback systems—headphones or speakers—making binaurally panned content sound neutral and spatially accurate across various listening environments. The plugin is essential for creating immersive spatial mixes that translate well to both headphone and speaker playback.
