Q: 1. So this is effectively an M+S USB microphone. Does it expose both M and S channels separately over USB or is it only a stereo mix of them?

A: When using the Shure Motiv Audio, or the Shure Motiv Video free app for IOS or Android. you have compete control over the polarity patterns. You can have it switched to cardioid to control the middle, or switch it to Bi-directional to control the sides. You also have the ability to set it for M/S to control everything as once. However, if you are looking to use the M/S polarity pattern and have control of each channel, it does not have this capability. The M/S Pattern will mix it down into a stereo mix.
