Brit.

/ˈmɒnə(ʊ)blɒk/, U.S.

/ˈmɑnəˌblɑk/

Forms: 1900s– monobloc, 1900s– monoblock.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mono adj.¹, block n.

Etymology: < mono adj.¹ + block n., perhaps after monobloc n.¹

A monophonic amplifier unit, usually one of a pair used in tandem to drive a set of stereo speakers without the electrical interference that may occur in speakers powered by a single stereo amplifier.
