   2. Of or relating to a system for recording and reproducing
      sound, which has only one sound channel; also called
      monaural or mono. It contrasts with stereophonic (or
      stereo), quadraphonic, or surround-sound, which have
      two or more channels, and can thus reproduce the effect of
      the sound coming from more than one direction.
