Is there a difference between audio recorded in mono or Hi-Fi even if the master audio is mono?
YES, there is quite a difference. Hi-Fi is a stereo audio signal embedded across the entire tape deeper than the video signal. Seeing it uses the whole width of the tape (apart from the small tracks mono or linear stereo uses). This allows a wider range of audio frequencies to be recorded. Hi-Fi also reduces hiss commonly found in mono or linear stereo tracks.
