Monophonic
\Mon`o*phon"ic\, a. [Mono- + Gr. ? a voice.]
1. (Mus.) Single-voiced; having but one part; as, a
monophonic composition; -- opposed to
polyphonic.
[1913 Webster]
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.
