USA - The Heartland of America Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota's Black Hills features one of the top ten 4 July fireworks displays in the nation. Mike Moore and Steve Foudray of Haggerty's MusicWorks (Rapid City, SD) deployed sound systems from Electro-Voice to ensure this celebration sounded as impressive as it looked.

"The day-long programme included military bands, USAF flyovers and kids' entertainment leading up to the big firework display, all fed to remote jumbo video screens reinforced with EV equipment," says Moore.

"We used ZX5 speakers to cover the Grand Terrace, Xi-1122 to cover the VIP area, and Xi-2123 to cover the parking lots - even the visitors barbecuing way out there could see and hear everything clearly. And of course we were also running EV CP series amps and Dx34 and Dx38 processing. The systems were time delayed to deliver consistent, highly intelligible coverage throughout the park."
