    The document describes the logical format of an audio CD, also known as Compact Disc Digital Audio or CD-DA. It was created in 1980 by Sony and Philips and is known as the Red Book format due to the color of its cover. The Red Book format uses two-channel 16-bit PCM encoding at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz per channel. It allows for optional four-channel sound but that has never been implemented. Mono audio also has no standard format on a Red Book CD so mono material is usually presented as two identical stereo channels.

    Audio CD[edit]

    Main article: Compact Disc Digital Audio


    The logical format of an audio CD (officially Compact Disc Digital Audio or CD-DA) is described in a
    document produced in 1980 by the format's joint creators, Sony and Philips. The document is known
    colloquially as the Red Book CD-DA after the colour of its cover. The format is a two-channel 16bit PCM encoding at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate per channel. Four-channel sound was to be an
    allowable option within the Red Book format, but has never been implemented. Monaural audio has
    no existing standard on a Red Book CD; thus, mono source material is usually presented as two
    identical channels in a standard Red Book stereo track (i.e., mirrored mono); an MP3 CD, however,
    can have audio file formats with mono sound.
