Subjecthrtfer: splitting hairs re manual definition
Hello...

Having a look at the hrtfer page of the manual as I'm about to begin
experimenting with it, and I'm confused about something I'm seeing. Here's how
the manual differentiates between kAz (azimuth) and kElev (elevation):

===
kAz - azimuth value in degrees. Positive values represent position on the
right, negative values are positions on the left.

kElev - elevation value in degrees. Positive values represent position on the
right, negative values are positions on the left.
===

Surely both of these values can't be denoting positions on the left/right
plane? Wouldn't one of them, say, kElev, actually be pointing to the up/down
plane? And if so, would a positive value represent elevations above the ear?

Or am I misreading this and the manual is correct?

Just asking,

Rick
