A diagram of monaural sound. Monaural sound or monophonic sound (often shortened to mono) is sound intended to be heard as if it were emanating from one position. [1] This contrasts with stereophonic sound or stereo, which uses two separate audio channels to reproduce sound from two microphones on the right and left side, which is reproduced with two separate loudspeakers to give a sense of ...
A phone connector (tip, ring, sleeve) also called an audio jack, phone plug, jack plug, stereo plug, mini-jack, or mini-stereo. This includes the original 6.35 mm (quarter inch) jack and the more recent 3.5 mm (miniature or 1/8 inch) and 2.5 mm (subminiature) jacks, both mono and stereo versions. There also exists 4.4 mm Pentaconn connectors.
A Shure FP24 preamp's mono XLR line outputs connected to an Edirol R-09 recorder's 3.5mm stereo jack line input, using a Y-cable. This is an example of consolidating connectors , as described below. A Y-cable , Y cable , or splitter cable is a cable with three ends: one common end and two other ends.
Mono equipment receiving stereo output will simply use the left (tip) channel as the mono input signal and lose the right (ring) channel of the stereo audio. The positive (tip) component of a balanced signal will be received, though without the full benefits of balanced audio, since the signal's negative (ring) component will be lost.
A bridge-tied load (BTL), also known as bridged transformerless and bridged mono, is an output configuration for audio amplifiers, a form of impedance bridging used mainly in professional audio & car applications. [1] The two channels of a stereo amplifier are fed the same monaural audio signal, with one channel's electrical polarity reversed.
Although mini-DIN connectors are used for S-Video connections, composite video, component video, and analog audio (mono or stereo) all use RCA connectors unless the signals are sent via SCART. In the digital realm, however, combined A/V connectors are gaining ground: HDMI is commonly used today for consumer electronics; and DisplayPort , a ...
Two pins are used for the mono headphone signal and two pins for the unbalanced microphone signal. The 4-pin XLR connector is also commonly used on amateur radio microphones, but transferring unbalanced audio instead, and using the 4th pin (with the common ground) for a push-to-talk (PTT) circuit activated by a button on the microphone.
Five-pin male 180° DIN connector from a 1988 Schneider MF2 keyboard by Cherry. The DIN connector is an electrical signal connector that was standardized by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), the German Institute for Standards, in the mid 1950s, initially with 3 pins for mono, but when stereo connections and gear appeared in late 1950s (1959 or so), versions with 5 pins or more were ...
