Core Thesis
Stereo width is only impressive when it makes the chorus feel larger without sacrificing center clarity, mono compatibility, or mobile translation.
What the briefing isolates
How the stereo-width benchmark helps decide whether the chorus is expanding in a durable way or just getting wider on paper.
How to read the operating range
Narrow verses and wider choruses can be powerful, but width becomes fake size if the center loses authority. The benchmark should show whether expansion is structural or merely decorative.
Where teams should use it
Use this in chorus design, mix review, and mastering checks when the song needs more lift without becoming spatially fragile.
