Short summary
We compare seismometers with the 6C method, which combines rotational and seismometer data, determining signal directions and wave velocities for short and continuous low-frequency volcanic signals at Mt. Etna. Either the cluster or the rotational sensor reliably detect continuous signal directions, aligning with the observatory data. For short signals, 6C directions deviate more, likely due to a complex underground. Combining both methods' velocity results improves understanding volcanic waves.
