Azimuth Co-ordinator (original) (raw)
L'Azimuth Co-ordinator è stato il primo rudimentale sistema di gestione quadrifonica del suono, usato dai Pink Floyd nel 1967. Lo si può considerare come il padre dell'attuale sistema surround.

| dbo:abstract | The Azimuth Co-ordinator was the first panning control for a quadraphonic sound system, at that time a new concept. Pink Floyd became the first band to use it in their early shows. The Azimuth Co-ordinator uses four rotary rheostats housed in a large box. The rheostats were converted from their standard 270 degrees rotation to operate over the narrower 90 degree range imposed by the physical constraints of the control lever with the box top aperture. The system was operated using two joysticks, which allowed an audio signal to be panned between up to six loudspeakers placed around the hall. The Azimuth Co-ordinator was operated by keyboardist Rick Wright.As he operated the joystick, the source of the sound moved from speaker to speaker around the auditorium. With the controls in the central position, the sound output would be equal in all speakers. It was constructed by a technical engineer Bernard Speight at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios.The original was stolen after the first concert in Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, England. A second was built for the concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London on 14 April 1969. It had two pan pots and four channels. Lost for many years it was found under the aegis of London's Victoria and Albert Museum, and displayed as part of their Theatre Collections gallery from March 2009. It is also included as part of the V&A's 2017 Their Mortal Remains exhibition.

(it) De Azimuth Co-ordinator was het eerste surround systeem voor geluidsweergave tijdens live-concerten. Pink Floyd was de eerste band die het gebruikte tijdens een concert in de Queen Elizabeth Hall in Londen op 12 mei 1967.De Azimuth Co-ordinator was op verzoek van Pink Floyd ontworpen door Bernard Speight, een technicus van de Abbey Road Studios. Richard Wright bediende het systeem tijdens de concerten van Pink Floyd. Door middel van een joystick was het mogelijk om geluid op een willeurig gekozen plaats binnen het vierkanaals-luidsprekersysteem weer te geven. Er werden er twee gemaakt: het eerste exemplaar bevatte een joystick, de tweede had er twee, zodat twee geluidsbronnen konden worden gepand. De eerste werd na het concert in de Queen Elizabeth Hall gestolen.Als gevolg van deze experimenten werd surround sound tijdens concerten op grotere schaal ingevoerd. Elvis Presley, U2, Madonna, Machiavel en Robbie Williams maakten en maken er gebruik van, maar de joystick werd vervangen door meer-kanaals mengpanelen. Ik herinner me dat we in 1968, toen Syd Barrett nog meedeed, in de Queen Elizabeth Hall voor het eerst met quadrafonie geëxperimenteerd hebben. We hadden van die speelgoedautootjes die je moet opwinden: je kent dat wel, je rijdt er een paar keer mee achteruit en dan laat je het ding los en giert het weg. Ik liep daar dan met de microfoon achteraan, om dat geluid quadrafonisch weer te geven.
