Monaural
Monaural or monophonic sound reproduction (often shortened to mono) is intended to be heard as if it were a single channel of sound perceived as coming from one position (unlike stereo, which uses two channels to convey the impression of sound coming from different places from left, middle, and right). In mono, only one loudspeaker is necessary, but, when played through multiple loudspeakers or headphones, identical signals are fed through each of the wires into each speaker, resulting in the perception of a one-channel sound, which "images" in one sonic space between the speakers (provided that the speakers are set up in a proper symmetrical critical-listening placement). Monaural recordings, like stereo, customarily use multiple microphones, fed into multiple channels on a recording console, but each channel is "panned" to be in the center. In the final stage, the various center-panned signal paths are usually mixed down to two identical tracks, which because they are identical, are perceived upon playback as representing a single unified signal in a single place in the soundstage. In some cases the multitrack source is mixed down to a one track tape becoming one signal. In the mastering stage, particularly in the days of mono records, the one-track or two-track mono master tape was then transferred to a one-track lathe intended to be used in the pressing of a monophonic record. However, today monaural recordings are usually mastered onto stereo and multitrack mediums, yet continue to retain their center-panned mono soundstage characteristics when played back.

Costa Rica
by: MonoralOver Costa Rica
Flown around with infantry
For the closing era
Taste of the life and sympathy
Set the view across
The ocean floor without the sea
Hate to be so lonely
Hate to be in the wrong end of this
Well, I know
If only I had always agreed
Desire all, desire all, my demons
Well, I know
if only I had always agreed
Desire all, desire all, my demons
Through the raging weather
Helped across the border stream
Stumbling over and over
Stray the land that used to breed
Set the view across
The open sky deprived of scene
Hate to be so lonely
Hate to be in the wrong end of this
Well, I know
If only I had always agreed
Desire all, desire all, my demons
Well, I know
If only I had always agreed
