What does stereo mono mean?

Mono is mono, which is often used for music performance and recording, and is different from stereo. Mono is a mono signal, which can only receive audio from one direction (speakers or headphones). Compared with stereo, monophonic sound is more concentrated, which is suitable for demonstrating central music, dialogue and singing. Monophonic signals are usually transmitted to headphones or a speaker, and the sound of the cinema also uses mono to project the central music and dialogue sound.

The etymology of mono is the Greek root "monos", which means "one", so mono can also refer to individuals and individuals. Acoustically, monophonic sound is biased towards God's perspective, faithful to the original recorded music or sound, and conveyed to the listener through speakers or headphones. Monophonic reconstruction of audio is more accurate, even without stereo sound, the audience can relive the original sound and the sound effect is more uniform. Therefore, mono is an important sound form.

Monophonic is not only used in audio technology, but also widely used. In photos, mono can refer to black and white photos. Compared with color photos, mono photos are more special and have more profound and unique significance. In the field of modern music, mono is more and more widely used. Monophonic music is purer and more direct than stereo music, and can show different forms of expression in different aspects of music creation. At the same time, mono is also used in the fields of television, drama and photography.
