  Quadraphonic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quadraphonic sound uses four channels in which speakers are positioned at all four corners of the listening space, reproducing signals that are independent of each other.
Quadraphonic sound was one of the earliest consumer offerings in multichannel audio, introduced to the American market in the early 1970s.
The quadraphonic music was encoded with sum and difference signals (encoded in the 18 to 30 kHz range) on the standard stereo grooves of vinyl which also had the undesirable side-effect of limiting the top end response to 15 kHz at the most.

Most of those responsible for the European development of the Quadraphonic stereo system would probably rather forget that they were involved.
To say that it was a dismal failure would be kind, to say that it was an absolute sales stinker would be fair, but to say that it didn't work would be wrong.
The quadraphonic stereo system achieved its unique 'surround sound' via the use of four independent sound channels - usually two front and two rear speakers.

 The Basics of Quadraphonic Technology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Quadraphonic technology involves using four-track stereo (rather than traditional two-track).
Quadraphonic technology should not be confused with surround sound technology, which is essentially two-track stereo recording rechanneled electronically into more tracks.
Surround technology is different from quadraphonic technology in that it is independent of the technology used to master the recording.

 Seeburg 'Quad' sound
The consumer quadraphonic craze started with the introduction of the SQ system by the CBS Technology Center in early 1971.
Quadraphonic sound died a premature death, caused primarily by the competing and incompatible systems, and the expense of the extra circuitry (the decoder, two additional power amplifiers and speakers).
The three-pin connector went to the cabinet cable connector that normally routes amplifier audio to the cabinet bass speakers, while the five-pin went to the cabinet cable normally connecting amplifier audio to the crossover network and cabinet tweeters.

While mixing, it is possible to "move" sounds electronically from one side to another, to isolate a given sound in left or right positions and to give any sound added prominence by increasing the amplification of its track in relation to others.
In order to obtain full Quadraphonic reproduction on present stereo high fidelity phonographs, the addition of a special SQ Decoder, a second two-channel amplifier and two additional speakers is necessary.
With an SQ Adaptor or Decoder circuit in the FM receiver, four-channel Quadraphonic reception is obtained.

 Quadraphonic Sound
For many, though, quadraphonic sound is a strange new concept like it was for me a few years ago, at least where music playback is concerned.
The family of quadraphonic disc recording systems calling themselves 'discrete' employ a carrier technique, similar to that used to transmit multiplex stereo on a single radio broadcast wavelength.
Modern Quadraphonic talks about the record companies not wanting to take the time to mix the quad albums, they prefered to make a 2 channel tape/record, and didn't really care otherwise as long as they were able to sell it (They explain it better than this, you'll have to take a look for yourself).

 Quadraphonic Over-Nite Sensation & Apostrophe (')
Listening to Apostrophe (') in quadraphonic and listening to the quadraphonic album in stereo were two unique opportunities to hear how differently, and successfully, the multitrack masters could be combined to create striking combinations of highly effective music.
For consumers, at the time (and still to this day in many ways), the three listening "options" from these two vinyl versions of Apostrophe (') was the closest thing to sitting hands-on at the UMRK mixing console with the Apostrophe (') multitracks available.
A close read of their reports reveals that neither of the previous quadraphonic informants had a real familiarity with the quad releases.

Unfortunately, most quadraphonic pioneers today are not willing to accept this small price for a very healthy future.
For quadraphonic, the balance shifts more than the available matrix separation, i.e., despite smokescreen claims to the contrary, even an educated ear could not tell matrix quadraphonic from mono over four speakers with minor exceptions, except from the center of the room.
Still, there is a place for blending in quadraphonic, and if a producer finds a particular matrix quad system provides a pleasing "surround" on say, the string tracks, I see no reason why s/he ought not use it.
