6.1 Direction of groove modulation
The stereophonic groove shall carry two channels of information. The two channels shall be recorded in such a manner that they can be reproduced by movements of a reproducing stylus tip in two directions at 90° to each other, and at 45° to a radial line through the stylus tip and the centre of the record; these movements shall be tangential to, or lie in a plane through the stylus tip and the record centre, inclined at an angle of 20 +5/0 anticlockwise to the normal to the record surface through the stylus tip as viewed towards the record centre (vertical tracking angle). The resulting modulation shall be optimum for reproducing styli having a rake angle of between 0° and −5° (for detail, see Figure 3).
6.2.2 Channel phasing
The phasing of the two recorded signals shall be suitable for reproduction on two-channel equipment so connected that movement of the reproducing stylus tip along the radial line through stylus tip and disk centre (as with a monophonic record) produces in-phase sound pressures at the left-hand and right-hand loudspeakers.
6.2.3 Channel levels
The levels of the two recorded signals shall be suitable for reproduction on two-channel equipment, of identical channel gain, so connected that movement of the reproducing stylus along the radial line through the stylus tip and disk centre (as with a monophonic record) produces equal sound pressures at the left-hand and right-hand loudspeakers.
6.2.4 Channel polarity
The polarity of the two recorded signals should preferably be suitable for reproduction on two- channel equipment so connected that movement of the reproducing stylus tip along the radial line through stylus tip and disk centre in a direction away from the disk centre shall produce compression in front of the left and right-hand loudspeakers similar to that produced by the live programme source.
