Move channels to center

I use Samplitude Pro X 7 suite. I want to produce an audio track to be played in an outdoor arena through loudspeakers. Do I need to move the channels toward center for almost mono sound or is stereo still OK? Do I want to go full mono? If I should move the channels toward center, where/how do I do that? It's not immediately obvious to me in the mixer console.

@beth-hall This depends on the speaker setup. You'll probably need to mix the sound at the venue. Otherwise it might happen that the same sound from different speakers will cancel each other out or amplify themselves. Then there will be zones where you can hear nothing or zones where the sound will be extremely loud.

Samplitude also supports surround projects. Simply create such a project or convert your current project. You can then place the tracks in the surround field.
