WHAT DOES STEREO SOUND MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stereophonic sound

Stereophonic sound or, more commonly, stereo, is a method of sound reproduction that creates an illusion of directionality and audible perspective. This is usually achieved by using two or more independent audio channels through a configuration of two or more loudspeakers in such a way as to create the impression of sound heard from various directions, as in natural hearing. Thus the term "stereophonic" applies to so-called "quadraphonic" and "surround-sound" systems as well as the more common two-channel, two-speaker systems. It is often contrasted with monophonic, or "mono" sound, where audio is in the form of one channel, often centered in the sound field. Stereo sound is now common in entertainment systems such as broadcast radio and TV, recorded music and the cinema. The word stereophonic derives from the Greek "στερεός", "firm, solid" + "φωνή", "sound, tone, voice" and it was coined in 1927 by Western Electric, by analogy with the word "stereoscopic".

Definition of stereo sound in the English dictionary
