stereo output

Left-right audio signal

Stereo output is an audio signal split into two channels—left and right—creating the illusion of sound coming from different directions.

Most music playback uses stereo output, whether through headphones, speakers, or audio jacks.

The term often refers to the physical connection: Plug into the stereo output on the back of the receiver.
