recording three signals to stereo, but keeping seperation

who sells/makes a matrix box that will mix three signals down to two (for recording)
A, B & C encoded to A+B left and A+C right
later i can decode it (to three isolated signals) removing the common A from both sides in a DAW
something like a fake MS, but the side takes two signals instead of a figure 8 doubled and phase flipped....
i'm sure this exists, but i might have imagined it.

this may help if you have more details, situation perhaps...? and what are you trying achieve?
signals are lines or mics?

umm... won't this be a matter of decoding at the recording stage if you are working with 3 separate signals instead of 2?
i think if you are going B (hard left) + A (Center) + C (hard right) down to stereo with a mixer and decode it in your DAW, this way you will get a good phase cancellation for the A right? but i think the B + C will sound weird tho...
i'm not sure.....

exactly. just figured there was a specific box for this that I could use instead of a mixer.
something built specifically like an MS encoder/decoder box
