Like a singular channel of reproduction (4)
I believe the answer is:
mono
'like' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mono that I've seen before include "Single-speaker sound" , "Single-channel sound" , "Not stereo" , "Transmitting over one channel" .)
