The spectacular cloud panels boost sound absorption, thereby reducing noise control problems. They can also be adjusted to create a custom-tailored acoustic environment for each individual performance. Boyz II Men, Celine Dion, Chicago, Counting Crows, Dave Matthews Band, Sarah McLachlan, Shaggy, Sheryl Crow, Snoop Dogg, The Cure, The Moody Blues and Tony Bennett have all taken a walk in the clouds!
