<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Ardour's monitor section makes it easy
to check in mono with it's dedicated mono button but you still get
a mono 'phantom' image located between the two speakers. Ardour's
flexible routing makes it easy to assign both channels of the
monitor section to the same speaker. Just click on the button at
the bottom and use the routing grid to send L & R to one
speaker and nothing to the other speaker. Try it, it makes a huge
difference even if it doesn't have the other advantages of a
single-driver speaker in a sealed enclosure.<br>

Agree with Thomas. <br>
<br>
I monitor in mono sometimes to check the mono compatibility and
also the balance. Often the level of the vocals, kick and reverbs
will be more obviously too loud or too quiet in mono. <br>
<br>
The single speaker Thomas is referring to is often this one:<br>

I just use an old stereo with the speakers close together as
second monitors for a similar purpose. <br>
<br>
All the best<br>
