Mono sound recording is done mostly with one microphone and only one loudspeaker is required to listen to the sound. Today no monaural standards exist for 8-track tape and compact disc and all films are released in stereophonic sound. Similarly movies were released in both versions because some theaters were not equipped with stereo speakers systems. In the 1960s albums were released as both monaural LPs and stereo LPs because people still had their old mono players and the radio station were mostly AM. With the advent of magnetic tapes the usage of stereo sound became easier. In November 1940 Walt Disney's Fantasia became the first commercial motion picture with stereophonic sound. Until the 1940s mono sound recording was popular and most of the recording was done in mono even though the two-channel audio system was demonstrated by Clément Ader in as early as 1881. Stereo sound is preferred for listening to music, in theaters, radio stations dedicated to music, FM broadcasting and Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB). Mono sound is preferred in radiotelephone communications, telephone networks, and radio stations dedicated to talk shows and conversations, public address system, hearing aids.

Monaural or monophonic sound reproduction is intended to be heard as if it were a single channel of sound perceived as coming from one position. Comparison chart Mono versus Stereo comparison chart
