Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: Gerard on December 12, 2009, 06:27:40 pm I would love one in XXHE! I do not mean it the wrong way but why do you like that? :scratching: Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: boleary on December 12, 2009, 06:58:03 pm The remastered early Beatles cd's were originally recorded in mono. From what I read, digitaly, they sound much better in mono than in stereo. That might be one reason. ;)
Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: Fidelio on December 12, 2009, 07:07:34 pm Yes. It is for mono recordings obviously.
Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: Gerard on December 12, 2009, 07:11:27 pm Ah ok....
Did not now that... Thanx :thankyou: :grin: Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: Telstar on December 12, 2009, 07:22:04 pm The remastered early Beatles cd's were originally recorded in mono.

If you want to test your speakers for correct connections, especially home-build. Set your sound to mono, and change the phase of 1 speaker.(change the + and -) Put them with the baffle against each other and leave about 1cm of space between both. If all is connect well, you hear nothing. :) (for closed cabinets ofcourse) Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: GerardA on December 12, 2009, 09:20:20 pm Great idea!
I just started to listen to my parents tapes from 46 years ago (When I was a baby). Recorded on left and right channel independently so a mono button that can also choose between left and right would be very handy after I record the tapes to the PC. Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: AUDIODIDAKT on December 12, 2009, 10:00:33 pm About those mono beatles recordings,
They should be played from 1 speaker only. Not 2x mono. Correct me if I'am wrong! PS: So just use 1 speaker instead of mono function. Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: boleary on December 12, 2009, 10:47:45 pm Geeze Roy, I had no idea. Learn something new every day around here. I do remember though the record player with one speaker, listening to 45's of the Beatles....
Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: AUDIODIDAKT on December 12, 2009, 11:22:57 pm These were mixed this way originally, using just 1 studio-monitor.
Some fans insist that the mono mixes are superior to the stereo ones. But this has a lot to do with nostalgic, those remaster versions. Hearing the cracking of Ringo Starr's crutch when playing drums. Nostalgic and nothing to do with audiophile IMO. But I'am not going in discussion with real beatles fans, was not even born yet, so HELP! (and what about commerce, how much costs the divorce of Paul???) Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: Fidelio on December 13, 2009, 12:32:02 pm One more thing that can make a mono button worthwhile - I sometimes sit closer to one speaker when I use my computer, and then mono would be brilliant.
Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: AUDIODIDAKT on December 13, 2009, 12:38:16 pm Maybe you mean a balance switch, were you can control the channels seperatly.
so 2 volume controls, 1 for each channel. Title: Re: Mono button? Post by: Fidelio on December 13, 2009, 12:53:49 pm No. I mean a mono button. My wife and I have a gigantic desk we both sit at. When I sit there alone, I sit in the middle. When we both are seated, we are both closer to one speaker. A mono button would be great in this scenario.
