Ever wonder how stereo sound works on a vinyl record? Dive into the groundbreaking history of stereo audio with this deep-dive into UK Patent 394325, filed by Alan Blumlein in 1931. Discover how one groove holds two sound channels, the genius behind the 45/45 system, and how stereo went from theory to industry standard.
We'll explore Blumlein’s innovations—including mid/side (M/S) encoding, stereo microphone techniques, and groove geometry—plus the forgotten pioneers who laid the groundwork for spatial sound long before vinyl.
Featuring archival footage, animations, and vintage gear, this video unpacks how stereo records actually function—and why they still matter today.
