A pan control is used to position an audio track somewhere between the left and right loudspeaker in the stereo soundfield. A pan control generally works by simply reducing the level of a track in one channel, which makes it appear louder in the opposite channel. Modern designs are sometimes more sophisticated in their approach, but the basic concept has stayed the same: turn the pan pot to the left and that track comes out of the left speaker.
