What are the differences between stereo and mono sound, and how do they impact the overall audio experience?

Stereo sound uses two separate audio channels to create a sense of direction and space in the sound, while mono sound uses a single channel. Stereo sound provides a more immersive and realistic audio experience by separating different elements of the sound, such as instruments or voices, into different channels. Mono sound, on the other hand, combines all audio into a single channel, resulting in a more basic and centered audio experience without the sense of direction or space.
