Pink Floyds azimuth co-ordinator
The Azimuth Co-ordinator was the first panning control for a quadraphonic sound system. Pink Floyd became the first band to use it in their early shows.
The Azimuth Co-ordinator used four large rheostats housed in a large box, converted from 270 degrees rotation to 90 degrees. The system was operated by a joystick, which allowed an audio signal to be panned to one or more loudspeakers placed around the hall.
The Azimuth Co-ordinator was operated by keyboardist Richard Wright. 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 has now been found under the aegis of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, displayed as part of their Theatre Collections gallery [1] since March 2009.

im sure i saw them use something like this at Rainbow Theatre , Finsbury Park in the 70s
Pink Floyd went for a four-night stand at the venue during the beginning of their Eclipsed Tour, on which its main set is mostly known as the "pre-Dark Side Of The Moon" set, from February 17 to 20, 1972. The last night performance was partially broadcast on BBC Radio. Besides the Eclipsed set, several songs from earlier tours were performed as encores.
