QUADRAPHONIC

Quadraphonic

2-channel

systems,

even

in

‘an

acoustically

ideal

living

reom,

cannot

reproduce

tha

ambience

and

radiation

of

a

good

auditorium

because

of

their

difference

in

oom

siz

and

the

limitation

of

the

sound

source

to

two

diman-

sions.

Quadraphonie

systems

open

the

by

adding

two

channels

‘to

music,

quadraphonic

systams

permit
