The Output Model acts as a template which defines playback output parameters for any sound or set of sounds. You can set up a sound to act as a mono point-source sound using HRTF (head-related transfer function) for proper placement relative to the camera/listener, or as a stereo sound with radius or no radius (i.e. no apparent position), or even with specific speaker assignments and levels in mono, stereo, or surround formats. | The Output Model acts as a template which defines playback output parameters for any sound or set of sounds.

* '''Min Distance''' inner radius of the sound in game units. At and within this radius, the sound will play back at its max volume (its static attenuation as set in the Sound Descriptor). Between the inner radius and outer radius volume falls off according to a five-point curve as defined below. | * '''Min Distance''' inner radius of the sound in game units.
