Same answer here -- I use my DAW to send a mono signal to the channel connected to the cube. The purpose of my cube is to hear the summed stereo parts to detect any phase issues that I was unable to hear in my stereo monitors. Specifically, I use Cubase 7 and use the Mixing Console to configure the mono output. Good luck!

Your source of audio needs to be sent as mono... I do mastering work and I set my last limiter to sum it up all to a mono signal (temporarily in order to check mono compatibility). The reason why some elements are gone is because precisely they are in the stereo spectrum (such as panned gtrs). When switched to mono, it will bring them into one single channel, and therefore make it sound in the mono domain. Mono compatibility is extremely important in mastering as you want to make sure your audio will play properly in ANY audio set up applications (from mono kitchen radios to hifi speakers, pro live sound and everything in between). Hope this helps. Mark Alfaro from El Salvador. Your source of audio needs to be sent as mono...

Personally, I set it to mono in my DAW. There is a way to combine it to mono by creating your own cable, and I think I may have found one stereo to mono converter online before, but it was fairly expensive. Check out this schematic http://www.cambridge-mt.com/SitePix/Fig2-7aUpdate.jpg

The other solutions are perfect - you need to hit a 'mono' button in your DAW or use an external monitor controller with a 'mono' button. I have one cube as well and use one TS (i.e. mono guitar cable, not a TRS cable) from one of my headphone outs of my interface. My interface's monitor outs are already in use for my main monitors. I hit my DAW's 'mono' button, silence my mains and turn up my headphone out going to the cube and voila!

You're having phase cancellation. Connect the speaker to the left output of your audio interface, and then either use your daw to switch the output to mono, or use a panner plugin and pan the right signal all the way left. If you want to listen to iTunes etc. then you need a monitor controller with a mono switch. I have the Steinberg. UR28M which has a mono switch. Works great

The box I have is a Cisco. One wire only-connected to the left or the right "OUT-Audio" that goes to the ears sender(Little box with infra red lights). Comes out as monobut sounds like stereo because it comes out of both ear sides. Hope it works for you.

You can get stereo output. Inputs however are one balanced 1/4" and the second is XLR. It's a great personal mixer and I use it every time I play live. I run the board mix into the 1/4" and then direct from my Line6 X3 Live into the XLR (Mic) input.

I tried them with my PC and I got them to work, but only in mono mode, not stereo. I dont know why. I only tried briefly because I wasnt planning on using them with my PC anyway...and I tried right after I got them and wasnt familiar with what I was doing. I havent had time to try them again.

If you want to check your mix in mono, purchase only one. It would be the equivalent of checking your mix through the proverbial old car radio speaker. If you have no other studio monitors, then purchase two.

that's one way BUT to make it more simple you could by a usb preamp with phantom power like the "Avid MBox 3" or the "Lexicon Lambda" i would recommend the mbox though. the lambda volume isnt that high but it may be cheaper and you would probably need a xlr splitter cable to get stereo quality sound.

Unfortunately it only records in mono. You'll only get one side of audio and you'll have to mirror it in post production. It works great for mono recording but is, shall we say, a little one sided.

I don't mind using a single honestly. It providesa lot of sound. Provided it will be mono if you do this. So if you stil want stereo, then I suggest two. However i just used mine for a laptop orchestra so they pack a punch! You could also purchase one and see if you are happy with the sound before you! comit! I think they are really designed for the portable aspect rather than the sound. The sound is much better on the ceramic unit though. HOPE THIS HELPS!

Yes it's supposed to be mono. If you don't hear audio in both sides of your head phones then the cable other headset has issues. It would be helpful to know what you are sending the receiver audio to. Zoom h4n, dslr, a recording device?

I'm not a fan of either of these answers, because they're ignoring the possibility of SPLITTING the stereo sound into separate mono channels, that can be recombined by the mixer. This means you can effectively mix two stereo inputs, by splitting them into four mono channels.

Jeffrey - I don't have that; where can I get it? I did a search on monoprice, but nothing relevant showed up. SocialLogic - I dunno what it's called but it's definitely not the coaxial input port (coaxial is the same used for subwoofer, I thought - and this receiver has two inputs, since it is 7.2)I've had it for about 10 days, and I'm still tweaking around with the settings. What audio mode do you guys generally use when playing Blu Ray? :)

I'm wondering if anyone who owns the system can tell me how the sound is for regular 2 channel audio. I want this to be an awesome home stereo system as well, and use my apple tv to enjoy itunes through it!

I am only guessing here but I believe it's mono, I watched a movie with it last night and it never sounded like something was taking place on one side of the room, now for $$, I think it's worth it.. The little thing puts out decent sound...

I bought this mike as a backup for our Sennheiser wireless mike at church. It is only mono. When I record to make a CD, I use a mono to 1/8" stereo adapter to input in the PC to get a left and right channel, so the sound will come out of both speakers. Otherwise it would only be left channel.

Even if you split a mono signal into two channels,it still won't be stereo,it will just be two mono channels,this mixer would require 2 discrete stereo channels in,to create two channels out.

No. As far as I know, subs are always a mono signal. There should only be one output from the receiver and input into the sub. This sub has a second RCA jack, but I believe it's an output, and I assume that is for chaining. I just have a regular stereo RCA cable and I'm only using one side for the connection.Hope that helps.Adam.

Nope all inputs are mono on this, but Pyle does sell some that are stero I will try to find the link I have it some where. My mono (this one) and the one that does stero sound (my other Pyle amp) both work great like you could never believe. Sorry that it doesn't have stero hope this helped, Awesome
