Mono sound logo.png Mono 1899 “Monaural sound” is simply a single audio channel. A mono signal can be sent from the source device to one, two or many speakers, and all the speakers will play the same sound regardless. While stereo signals can create the impression of hearing sounds from different locations/directions, mono cannot. Prior to the Turbo-Grafx16, all home video game consoles [1] either sent a mono audio signal to the television, or (in the 1st gen) utilised beepers and built-in speakers to produce simple action sounds. In some instances, stereo mods for these older consoles are available. (e.g. Atari 2600) [2]

In some modern consoles, the ability to enable mono audio (i.e. combining all audio channels into one) can be enabled as an accessibility option for players with single-sided deafness. [3]
