This is something we try to teach committees, city councils etc, who record 
15-person meetings with a mono recorder...and then try to decipher what's 
been said.  A stereo pickup makes all the difference in the world; 
particularly for a transcriber listening with stereo headphones.

person.  If you isolate them in a stereo field, it turns out that most folks 
can hear and pay attention to 5 to 7 different voices, but if you switch to 
mono, you're toast.
