Abstract: A 3-D audio data manipulation system providing a multi-dimensional audio field generated by a speaker array. The speaker array is driven by audio data and has a plurality of speakers, with each speaker having a unique physical position within the audio field. The system includes a 3-D mixing module having a plurality of fader channels. Each fader channels configured to receive input audio data. The input audio data selectable from a plurality of 3-D mixing module audio data input channels. Each fader channels further configured to provide a selectable sound intensity increase, or decrease, to the input audio data. The 3-D mixing module further provides a selectable plurality of 3-D mixing module audio data output channels for each of the plurality of fader channels. Any 3-D mixing module audio data output channel may be redirected back into a 3-D mixing module audio data input channel of the 3-D mixing module.
