Two- and Three-Channel Stereophonic Photographic Soundtracks for Theaters and Television

Ronald E. Uhlig

Relative advantages and disadvantages of two- and three-channel soundtracks as used in theaters and on television are described. A two-channel system was described in an earlier paper (Jour. SMPTE, 82: 292–295, Apr. 1973) but there are certain inherent disadvantages in the two-channel system. Based on later studies, a compromise system involving the use of two recorded tracks and a derived center channel has been developed.
