Orban/Parasound 516E : why are there 3 channels?

[Guest]

hello world.

I collected a vintage Orban/Parasound 516E de-esser.
I see there are 3 channels.

I think only two channels are needed to stereo music.
So i do not understand what is the goal of the third one.

Please, is somebody able to tell me what is this
third channel made for?

I thank you a lot for your help.

Best regards.

eric from Paris.

There's probably an explanation in the manual, which you can get for
free from Orban's site:

It's not for stereo. It's for individual vocal tracks. The box is set
up so you can simultaneously process three vocal microphones.

For a third microphone. Many of these got installed in broadcast
facilities where there would be one announcer microphone and two
interview microphones.
