Also displayed on the touch-screen is a touch sensitive balance slide controller and a touch sensitive fade slide controller. As the user makes left-right balance selections on the balance controller, and front-rear fader selections on the fade controller, an acoustic sweet spot designator is presented on the displayed representation of the passenger cabin.
