Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a 'multichannel recorder' is a recorder that captures multiple channels, so a learner who knows 'multichannel' (many channels) and 'recorder' (device that records) can derive the full meaning. This follows standard English noun-compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically straightforward, so it should be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Multichannel recorder comes from its parts multi, channel, and recorder: picture one machine that records many separate 'channels', like different microphones, at the same time onto different 'tracks'. That's why it means a device that captures 'two or more separate channels' of sound or signals at once.
