Back in 1969, The Pink Floyd were calling their surround-sound setup the
Azimuth Co-Ordinator System, although theirs was hexaphonic rather than
quad. (They had used a quad system as early as '67, at the infamous Games
for May show at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, but the rear speakers were stolen
by the audience!) A joystick could send a sound source (which was
frequently tape loops, to bring this on-topic!) panning around the hall.
The loop most often remembered (a wonder in itself) was the sound of
footsteps walking completely around the crowd.

But if you called yours a quad pan pot, we'd know what you were talking 
about!
