      As part of the LiveLAB infrastructure, there will be a main performance area within the facility with a configurable stage and audience area. A supporting immersive audio system is required to create immersive audio experiences, ranging from fully virtual acoustic environments to sound reinforcement for live performances where audio objects are panned around the audience. The audio system will predominantly be flown from the LiveLAB trussing, and will incorporate 32 channels of sound reinforcement, which includes LFE channels and on-stage monitoring.
