Stereophonic sound, commonly called stereo, is the reproduction of sound using two or more independent audio channels through a symmetrical configuration of loudspeakers in such a way as to create the impression of sound heard from various directions, as in natural hearing. It is often contrasted with monophonic, or "mono" sound, where audio is in the form of one channel, often centered in the sound field (analogous to a visual field).

Stereo recordings are used in FM broadcasting and Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and in several television systems. To record in stereo, sound engineers use various methods, including using two directional microphones, two parallel omnidirectional microphones, or more complex techniques. Several monophonic records, such as the original Broadway cast recordings of Oklahoma! (1943), Carousel (1945), and South Pacific (1949), were once reissued in "fake" stereo to create the impression that the sound was originally recorded in that medium.

The first stereo transmission was made telephonically by Clément Ader in 1881. The BBC made radio's first stereo broadcast in December 1925. In the 1930s, Alan Blumlein of EMI patented stereo records, stereo films, and also surround sound. Harvey Fletcher of Bell Laboratories investigated techniques for stereophonic recording and reproduction. The first commercial motion picture to be exhibited with stereophonic sound was Walt Disney's Fantasia (1940). By the mid-1950s, multichannel sound was common for big-budget Hollywood motion pictures. In 1953, Remington Records began taping some of its sessions in stereo, with the first stereophonic phonograph discs available to the general public in 1958. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced stereophonic FM technical standards in April 1961, and licensed regular stereophonic FM radio broadcasting, to commence that same year. In 1984, multichannel television sound was adopted by the FCC as the United States standard for stereo television transmission.

How can I get better stereo reception when some of my walls are underground?
Q. I live in an apartment/townhouse community and I can't get my stereo to play at all, pure static. One of my walls is under ground and then I am surround by other units on the other three, well except for the front one that goes out side. My stereo is close to the front wall and window and I do have the antana that came with it attached. I forgot to mention this is an old school stereo, full cabinet and rack. Any ideas?

A. You might be able to get an external antenna for it and hook it up so the antenna is outside. They also offer cable audio in some places you may want to check on this and see if it is an option.

How do I get my stereo headphones to last longer?
Q. I have had to buy several pairs of stereo headphones over the years. Has anyone ever had this happen?: I will have a pair of stereo headphones, use them on a regular basis, then all of a sudden one side will go out. Either the Left side or Right side will go completely dead. So I will be stuck with a pair of headphones where the music only comes out ONE side! What causes this and how do I avoid it?

A. I bought a pair of those $50 Sony earbuds made for jogging about 3 years ago. I go jogging at least 5 times a week, and they've lasted me so far. I would highly recommend those, even though they are crazy expensive for headphones.
