pbrody Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Connect a 3.5 mm mono plug to the output jack of a minidisc recorder-player such a Sony MZ RH910.It picks up one of the output channels. Which does it pick up, the left channel or the right channel?This is relevant if only one of the channels has been recorded to as happens when a mono microphone is connected to the microphone input jack (left channel is recorded to).

greenmachine Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 It's always the left channel, whether in- or output. How about upgrading to the end-1950s standard - (((Stereo))) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e1ghtyf1ve Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Mono isn't so bad for speech, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 It depends - if you record from a distance, stereo is much more enjoyable even for speech, especially when listening with headphones. I can't listen to mono with headphones at all - it drives me crazy - i don't like to have the the speaker/music/whatever in my head but rather somewhere around me if you know what i mean. For close miking and loudspeaker playback, mono is fine. Other than that - no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
