AudioListener: setPosition() method

View on MDN ↗

The setPosition() method of the AudioListener Interface defines the position of the listener.

The three parameters x, y and z are unitless and describe the listener’s position in 3D space according to the right-hand Cartesian coordinate system. PannerNode objects use this position relative to individual audio sources for spatialization.

The default value of the position vector is (0, 0, 0).

[!NOTE] As this method is deprecated, use the three positionX, positionY, and positionZ properties instead.

Syntax

None (undefined).
