Sound Stereo What's The Difference Between Stereo Sound And Mono Sound?
If I listened to a stereophonic audio clip and then a mono audio clip, what would be the the diference between the two and why do we use stereo sound?
Stereo means two channel as in a seperate right channel and a seperate left channel. Mono is just one channel. Usually the left and right channel combined. In the early days of reproduced sound there was only mono recordings. It wasn't until 1925 that the first radio broadcast was presented in stereo. Stereo uses at least two microphones to capture sound to be recorded. A left mic and a right mic. The reason we use stereo is because we have two ears(left and right) and it creates a more believable soundstage. Stereo recordings may have seperate information on the independent channels. The bass and vocals are for the most part in mono. When you sit in the "sweet spot" between two speakers in a stereo set up and listen to music, you will hear different sounds coming from either speaker. The voice will usually be dead center unless it was recorded off center or live and the performer moves around in which you will hear them do so. If you were to listen to a mono recording with the same set up, everything would appear to come from exactly in between the two speakers and it will be a duller sound. Mono sound still has its uses though. It is used mainly when people will not be sitting or standing in the sweet spot. Such as a concert or other live event or a nightclub for example where people are constantly moving around. That way they can still hear all the left and right information and not just what would be coming out of just the side(L or R) that they are nearest. Other uses are like in a 70 volt audio system. Like when you go to a store and they're playing music through those ceiling speakers. Happy listening.
