One of America’s most famous landmarks, the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, welcomes nearly three million visitors each year. Located among the majestic Black Hills of South Dakota, Mount Rushmore features 60-foot high sculptures of four notable American presidents (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt).
Mount Rushmore wanted to upgrade and expand its previous sound system, a project requiring the creation of two new systems: One covering the amphitheater, the other to be used mainly for announcements. The size of Mount Rushmore’s amphitheater presented the greatest challenge for the installation team.
Many options were considered, but the team chose the WET Series from Biamp’s Community loudspeaker line. The amphitheater’s new system has 20 Community WET315 cabinets on two main towers and two delay towers.
