Readya' there Bob! A lot of folks simply hookup one speaker(left or
right only) and this is a good way for a producer in a hurry to miss
that really awesome keyboard or guitar solo panned sharp to the
opposite side.
I've been to a lot of movie houses and performances where the "sound
crew", for reasons of a shortage of inputs or of cables, hooked up
only one side of their CD/cassette deck that they used for walk-in
music. Ever hear Purple Haze on "Jimi's day off"? Or Bohemian
Rhapsody "easy come, easy go, - - -, little low, any way the wind
blows.."
The least they could do is Y the L, R to mono!
just an observation.
