So you don't know, or even care, if your mic requires 1 or 2 channels,
or what polar response it might have.

You don't understand that not the microphone, but the software determines
the number of channels in a file.

Listening to a mono file you imagine it's stereo.

And you seriously want to do audio engineering ??

Then please start learning the basics before you try to do anything else,
or waste other people's time.
