Audio Technology and Pink Floyd
Our thanks to BD visitor Brian Phillips who has supplied the following article with his views on Audio Technology and Pink Floyd.

While sometimes being in Abbey Road studios at the same time as the Beatles, the innovation by Pink Floyd continued for decades after the Beatles planted the first seeds. Things like Pink Floyd’s 1967 invention the Azimuth Coordinator , allowed for live sound to be presented in quadraphonic , a surround sound format 20 to 30 years prior to that format becoming a standard for home theaters. This new idea of surrounding, encapsulating the audience, allowing concert goers to listen inside the music, raised the bar for all future concerts.
