The earliest recording and playback devices were 'mono' or one channel, this allowed the listener to hear the recorded information but without any spatial information, you could not hear the wind instruments on the left and the strings on the right in an orchestra recording for example.

Mono systems are still used in places such as ensuites and gardens where stereo information has little meaning, and may even lead to unintelligibility of the sound due to multipath interference.
