Peter Scheiber | |
|---|---|
| Nationality | American |
| Occupation | Founder of Scheiber quadraphonic system |
Peter Scheiber is considered to be the originator of the matrix format, a basic mathematical formula used to convert four channels into two which is what most matrix four channel systems are based on. He is also a musician and audio engineer.
In matrix quadraphonic systems four channels are converted (encoded) down to two channels. These two matrixed channels are recorded onto tape or vinyl record. Reproduction occurs via a two-channel transmission medium - in most cases a vinyl record - these are decoded back to four channels and reproduced via four loudspeakers.[1][2]
Scheiber is also the inventor of the 360-degree spatial decoder.[3]
