Wouldn't it be easier to make the rooms mono?
Rip stereo to mono
Hi All,
I use EAC for all my ripping to FLAC files. Is there a way to convert two channel rips to mono? Can you use EAC to rip mono? I did not find any info on the EAC site that addresses this question, nor can I find this option in EAC. I have multiple big rooms that need to have both channels in mono so the sound is uniform.
Thank you in advance,
Doug Clary

Al is right about Audacity, it's fairly easy to convert stereo tracks to mono using it, though I haven't tried it with FLAC files. Instructions are here. |
It still easier to convert the stereo signal to mono using Y cables.Not good practice, IMO. To the extent that the signals on the two channels differ, the output stages that drive the two channels will fight each other, adversely affecting sonics. Another way to put it is that the output stage of each channel will have to drive the stereo component of the signal into a load impedance equal to the output impedance of the stage driving the other channel, which will be very low compared to the impedances it is designed to drive.
