The illustration below shows the available audio channel layouts.
The channel codes describe the location of the channel:
• L: Left front channel
• R: Right front channel
• C: Center front channel
• Ls: Left surround channel
• Rs: Right surround channel
• Cs: Center surround channel
• LFE: Low-frequency effects channel (subwoofer, LFE)
Note: It’s important to understand that Compressor can’t convert stereo audio files into
5.1 surround sound channels. If you want to output a 5.1 surround sound audio file, you
must first create the six channels of audio required and then import those surround sound
files into Compressor. Then you can use Compressor to output the surround sound source
media file. See Create a surround sound job in Compressor.
