From this description, it appears to me as though the person can
control a mono signal in these ways:
a) To pan between any two of the n loudspeakers.
b) To increase the number of speakers carrying the signal from only
one (audio-point) to all of them (audio-plenum).
Without knowing exactly how the platform speakers are disposed it is
impossible to say more.
