ers. The system also comprises side arrays of four MSL-4 and two CQ-1 loudspeakers each, as well as four 700-HP subwoofers, UPA-1P and UPM-1P fill loudspeakers, and a Galileo loudspeaker management system. The system was supplied by GoMedia, with supporting infrastructure installed by AV Solutions.
