azimuth | NN n/a IE n/a CSS 2
| Inherited: Yes
Given a listener at the center of a circular sound space (like in a surround-sound-equipped theater), azimuth sets the horizontal angle of the source of the sound (for example, in a text-to-speech browser). See also the elevation attribute.
CSS Syntax azimuth: angle | angleConstant || direction
Value Up to two values. One represents the angle, clockwise from straight ahead; the second is a 20-degree incremental movement to the left or right. An angle value is any value in the range of -360 to +360 (inclusive) plus the letters "deg", as in 90deg. The value 0deg is directly in front of the listener. To set the angle to the left of the listener, the value can be either -90deg or 270deg. Optionally, you can choose an angleConstant value from a large library of descriptions that correspond to fixed points around the circle. If you add the behind modifier, the values shift from in front of the listener to behind the listener.
Value | Equals | Value | Equals
center | 0deg | center behind | 180deg
center-right | 20deg | center-right behind | 160deg
right | 40deg | right behind | 140deg
far-right | 60deg | far-right behind | 120deg
right-side | 90deg | right-side behind | 90deg
left-side | 270deg | left-side behind | 270deg
far-left | 300deg | far-left behind | 240deg
left | 320deg | left behind | 220deg
center-left | 340deg | center-left behind | 200deg
For the direction value, you can choose from two constants: leftwards | rightwards. These settings shift the sound 20 degrees in the named direction.
