Also interesting to note that alot of the first
stereo systems had a mono pre-out jack that provided
a mono mix of the stereo signal for setting up
a speaker in the middle of the right and left.
This could be considered the first example of
a "center" channel.
Even more interesting is that the very first stereo systems were three-channel, with a full-range hi-fi center, and the "new" stereo signal played by a pair of satellites.
