Abstract: A surround sound display has a graphic sound stage image, including speakers representing sources and a central listener, and bent correlation meter scales for each stereo channel. The correlation meter scales have values from +1 at one end to ?1 at the other end and are bent to start from a central point along one side of the display between the speakers representing the stereo channels to a point along the opposing adjacent sides of the display outside the respective speakers. A marker, either in the form of individual pointers for each scale or as a fill area that spans the scales, indicates the correlation between the stereo channels. The thickness of the fill area indicates the amplitudes of the stereo channels.
