The sound coming out of each speaker in a 2, 5, or 7 speaker system can be different for each speaker. The information that is sent to each speaker is called a channel.

Commonly the output signal from the amp to the speaker. Left and right which is two channels for stereo. Home theater is typically referred to as multichannel which is usually at least five speakers or channels.
