Is ME 67 a stereo mic?

I know very very little about sound recording. Maybe this is a silly question to your sound gurus. I recently bought a DVX, and looking to add a mic to it for a small film project I'm working on(mainly indoor). So I asked a friend of mine who has recorded sound for another film project. He told me that I need two of those shotgun mics to get stereo sound. He said there's only 1 wire coming out of the mic, but there're 2 XLR inputs on DVX. So if I want to get good stereo sound. I need two of them. I admit I'm totally confused at this point. I've been reading this forum a lot, mainly those newbie posts about what mic to buy. Anyway, do I really need 2 mics like my friend suggested? Thanks.
 
An me67 is a mono mic, but you can plug into input 2 and set your input 1 switch to input 2 and set the input 2 switch to input 2 and you'll get dual mono... or simulated stereo. This won't give you any spatial imaging or movement, but 99% of audio for broadcast is mono anyway... I wouldn't sweat the stereo stuff for now...
 
you dont record stereo dislog - the stereo image good for atmospher only
if you need good and not expencive mice ( stereo) look for at -835 st ,
others are in some way cost as your camera :-)
 
BTW, the me67 is a lousy choice for a mic if the film is mainly indoor. If you should stick to the senns, you will actually need a me64, but if I were you, I'd consider other choices such as an oktava MC-012. Search and read the forum, you'll have plenty of questions cleared.

I haven't bought any mic yet. But I've been looking for something that won't go over $500. I know there's no best all around mic(indoor/outdoor). So for $500, my question is how to get the most out of it.
