 .IPs <n>\ \ 
 number of input channels (1\-6)
 .IPs <lij>
-How much of input channel j is mixed into output channel i (0\-1).
+The percentage (as a decimal, 0.5=50%, 2=200%, etc.) that input channel
+j is to be mixed into output channel i (0\-512). That is 0% \- 51200%.
+Be careful when using values higher than 1; higher values can be quite
+loud and may cause clipping. If \-v is specified pan will print a
+message whenever it has to clip.
