# listenerVectorOrientation

The listener’s vector orientation in the environment.

## Declaration

```swift
var listenerVectorOrientation: AVAudio3DVectorOrientation { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default orientation is with the listener looking directly along the negative z-axis (forward). The node expresses a forward vector orientation as (0, 0, -1), and an up vector as (0, 1, 0). Changing this property results in a corresponding change in the listenerAngularOrientation property.
