[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 55505, member: 16"] Re: Why is left channel louder? I'll assume that you (like the majority of the worlds population) are right handed. "Handed-ness" likely extends to the senses of sight and hearing. You probably talk on the telephone while holding it in your right hand. Over time you tend to develop a higher level of discernment or preference in the ear on that side. I know if I need to really make a critical assessment of sound/sight I use my right ear/eye. When I mix in stereo I have to be careful not to overload the left side. It's not as much of a difference musically as the meters simply sense levels while the ear reacts in accordance with apparent energy. I think Fletcher-Munson may apply in that respect. But I agree with you regarding the meters. It does seem the left channel meters out higher. The above is just my guess on one factor which may apply. [/QUOTE]
