Wave field synthesis array 1 of 3 (372 individual channels total) for an installation. Custom built speakers.
A long black horizontal loudspeaker array with small drivers every 2 inches. 5 speaker stands hold up the array. Some curtains behind the array and some boxes on the floor. The room is a bit cluttered. Looks like a photo from a load-in (which is true).
