filters.

Mono Signal
As of today, the only truly “mono” digital signal that exists is Dolby
Digital 1.0, a mono version of the Dolby Digital standard. It is most
commonly used on old movies that were originally released in
mono, such as The Wizard of Oz or Casablanca.
Note Mono material is sometimes released as a two-channel recording,
where both channels are exactly the same. The signal itself is still in a
two channel format, however, and will be processed as such even
when there is only one channel of unique information being
conveyed.
Your processing options for one channel/mono material include:
• Mono in Center
A “true” mono, reproduced only through the center channel
speaker (and subwoofer, if configured with a crossover). Noisy
mono sound tracks sometimes enjoy significant noise reduction
by being reproduced in this mode.
