Dual Mono Output Groups
Dual mono output groups allow you to output tracks to hardware outputs discretely.
Assign a sequence track to a dual mono output whenever you want to send your audio
directly to a hardware output without pan control.

Stereo Output Groups
Stereo output groups allow you to use pan controls in the Audio Mixer to place track
audio within a stereo image. Stereo output groups are useful when you want to create
pan effects (such as a car passing from screen left to screen right) from mono clips or
when you want to preserve the pan settings of stereo clips.
