With all of the excitement you would expect from Universal Studios, the Lagoon Stunt Show features high speed chases, movie-quality stunts and brilliant explosions. The open air show plays to crowds of over 10,000 people daily throughout the theme park’s season and is enjoyed by audiences of all ages.
AD was hired to design a speaker system that would insure that productions were as impressive aurally as they were visually. This included the design of seven remote equipment rooms scattered around the lagoon, with AD handling the acoustic design and a complex loudspeaker scheme to achieve the best possible sound coverage for the area around the lagoon.
When designing for sound coverage, not only was intelligibility a priority but also providing a sense of intimacy to each listener. A complete computer model of the entire area was developed to determine speaker location and to confirm direct field coverage.
