The (often referred to as a Goniometer or Stereo Vectorscope) is a visual monitoring tool used to analyze the stereo width, phase correlation, and spatial balance of an audio signal. This feature provides engineers with a real-time "fingerprint" of the stereo image, allowing them to detect phase cancellation issues (which cause audio to disappear in mono) and verify the spatial placement of instruments.

Imagine you are mixing a live band. You have two microphones on an acoustic guitar for a wide, lush sound. On your speakers, it sounds decent, but as soon as you listen in , the guitar almost completely disappears. This is the "horror story" of audio phase cancellation. phasescope
