"The CMS - Sonic Lab multichannel system has the peculiarity of
being distributed on four different levels, with the speakers placed
around and above the audience.
From the console, the possibility to control the volume of each
loudspeaker allows the interpreter to set, in addition to left /
right - front / rear movements, even sound trajectories from bottom
to top and vice versa, while allowing diagonal movements and
rotations on each of the four levels." Dante Tanzi 2017
