From the time of (about) 'Waiting for the Sun' Elektra ceased to issue LPs in both mono and stereo. However, for a while mono versions of these albums were produced elsewhere, such as the UK. It is much more difficult to say definitively that something exists than that it doesn't, but occasionally I may say a mono version exists and omit to say that it wasn't released in the USA. Your input would always be welcome on this.

Creating a mono signal is often necessary when you are powering a subwoofer by bridging the amplifier. Many people do not realize that bridging an amplifier does not always provide a mono signal - many amplifiers will simply use only one input channel, which means that the subwoofer won't be receiving the full signal. Some amplifiers have a switch that will allow you to combine the left and right channels into a mono signal. See similar questions...

The vast majority of people should use a mono cable (connect it to the SUBWOOFER or LFE output on your receiver). Use stereo cables only with 2-channel stereo preamps. See similar questions...

The tuner, from its references, seems to be stereo, but do not integrate a NICAM decoder. The result is a MONO reception on the French aerial channels. Thanks to schwartz for information. See similar questions...

Yes. The CDR420 can record in mono or stereo. Mono recording takes half the amount of memory as stereo recording. Meeting recording or interviews, for instance, may not need to be recorded in stereo. See similar questions...

accordion isn't like a piano with a left-to-right sound spread. Especially when dealing with melody, which comes from the right-hand side of the instrument, the sound is strictly vertical in nature. Therefore, we record almost always in mono. There are exceptions, however. See similar questions...

Hold down Option [Ctrl] before clicking on the insert slot. The slot has to be 'empty' when you do this. Now on stereo tracks, you should get the m/m and m/s plug-ins, and on mono tracks, you should get the s/s plugins. See similar questions...

First insure that the amplifier is switched off then set both cabs to Mono (Fig. 11.1) and connect a speaker cable to either of the TSL's Parallel loudspeaker outputs (Fig. 11.2). Connect the other end of the speaker cable to the first Cabinet's 16 Ohm input socket (Fig. 11.3). Plug a second speaker cable into the remaining parallel loudspeaker output on the head unit (Fig. 11.4) and insert the other end into the 16 Ohm input socket on the second cabinet (Fig. 11.5).

These sorts of questions tend to spark topics that have a periodic recurrence in r.m.b. If you start one up, please be aware that a) you may never get a definitive answer, and b) you may get mail from folks telling you "We just discussed this" or a rude insult---or both. Be forewarned. Netiquette needs no complete FAQ in itself. Treat others as you wish to be treated. All else is commentary. ---- saki@evolution.bchs.uh.edu See similar questions...

You will nott hurt our stereo intercoms (PM3000) or audio panels when you use a mono (1-channel) headset. The mono headset WILL ground out the left side of the audio. In the pilot or copilot positions, nobody will notice. Audio will be present in both ears. In any passenger position, plugging a mono headset will force any other stereo headset to become mono, too. Those stereo headsets will only her in one ear, unless they switch to the mono mode. See similar questions...

Split: This is used to separate, or 'Split' the channels of a stereo recording into two mono sound files, containing the left and right channels of the original file. This is especially useful when you want to work with only one channel of a stereo recording. Unite: This is used to combine, or 'Unite', two mono files in to one stereo file.

The ability to monitor in mono is important when multi-track recording. When recording with one input, the ability to hear that input in both ears in the headphones makes monitoring less fatiguing. Monitoring in mono is necessary with single channel sources. The Mono function can be heard only through the headphones, and only affects the input signals; any signals from the PC stay stereo.

This is a common requirement with multi-effects processors which can accommodate a mono or stereo input, depending on the selected algorithm. Fortunately, it is easily solved with a special version of half-normalling called 'stereo half-normalling'! The answer is to connect the tip (and ring, in balanced interfaces) contact(s) of the left channel input socket to the switching contact(s) of the right channel's input socket.

First, make sure the amplifier is off then set the 1960 to Mono (Fig. 5.1) and connect a speaker cable to either of the JCM900's parallel loudspeaker outputs (Fig. 5.2). Connect the other end of the speaker cable to the 1960's 16 Ohm input (Fig. 5.3). Now set the JCM900's impedance selector to 16 Ohms (Fig. 5.4). See similar questions...

First, make sure the amplifier is off then set both cabinets to Mono (Fig. 6.1) and connect a speaker cable to either of the JCM900's Parallel loudspeaker outputs (Fig. 6.2). Connect the other end of the speaker cable to the first 1960's 16 Ohm input (Fig. 6.3). Now connect a second speaker cable to the JCM900's remaining parallel loudspeaker output (Fig. 6.4). Connect the other end of this cable to the second 1960's 16 Ohm input (Fig. 6.5). See similar questions...

First, make sure the amplifier is off then set both 1960 cabinets to Mono (Fig. 9.1) and connect a speaker cable to either of the TSL/DSL's 4/8 Ohm Parallel loudspeaker outputs (Fig. 9.2). Connect the other end of the speaker cable to the first 1960's 16 Ohm input (Fig. 9.3). Connect a second speaker cable to the remaining TSL/DSL 4/8 Ohm Parallel loudspeaker output (Fig. 9.4). Then connect the other end of this cable to the second 1960's 16 Ohm input (Fig. 9.5). See similar questions...

First make sure the Amplifier is switched off then set the 1960 to Mono (Fig. 10.1) and connect a speaker cable to either of the TSL's parallel loudspeaker outputs (Fig. 10.2). Connect the other end of the speaker cable to the 1960's 16 Ohm input socket (Fig. 10.3). Now set the TSL60's 8/16 Ohm impedance selector to 16 Ohms (Fig. 10.4). See similar questions...

People. Trust me on this. It may make no sense at all on the surface, but I assure you that there is no file size difference between an MP3 file encoded in mono, stereo, or joint stereo at the same bit rate. Bit rate and duration are the only things that determine MP3 file size. And if you're using joint stereo, there's no quality difference, either. In fact it's better to always select joint stereo, even if your source signal is mono, because mono MP3 files cause glitches in some MP3 players. See similar questions...

When Fox released the movie on video, rather than working from the original mono soundtrack, they decided to use the stereo release of the music soundtrack. Since the DVD and the 25th anniversary video release don't include this imperfect stereo mix, but instead a newly remixed 5.1 soundtrack, we can probably kiss it goodbye. We can only hope Fox will strike some new prints with the new remixed 5.1 soundtrack, which was mixed from the original mono stems. See similar questions...

If the source audio was recorded in the mono format, the clips use a mono output in order to save space since the stereo output would simply have the identical audio on two separate channels. See similar questions...
