Balance Control

A balance control on a stereo system or radio is a device that allows the user to adjust the distribution of audio between different channels. Typically, it adjusts the relative volume levels between the left and right speakers (or front and rear speakers in some systems), enabling the listener to achieve a preferred stereo or surround sound balance. This feature is useful for customizing the audio experience based on the listener’s seating position or preference for stereo imaging. Adjusting the balance control can shift the sound to favor one side over the other, ensuring optimal listening enjoyment.
