Actually, I don't know for sure how it's implemented. They may
have separate sound streams for each window. Moreover, this was a
few years ago (I left in 1995), and there may have been changes since
then. It would certainly be a lot easier to use individual speakers
fed by electrical wiring, than pumping a lot of air around from a
central location.
