Hi Mark- Dual mono means that there are two totally separate monoaural circuits to make up the stereo pair. Two power supplies, gain circuits, etc. Some even have two power cords (not sure that ML does. This is designed to eliminate any interaction between the two channels. Balanced refers to circuit design (over my head), which requires XLR connectors. However, sometimes XLRs are supplied which do not feed a truly balanced circuit (they are there basically for convenience). Others can supply lots more detail, I'm sure.
