Sound By Design has completed it's second successful year providing musical amplification for the week-long Legoland Windsor end-of-season fireworks display. The event covered five evenings, with between 15,000 to 19,000 people attending on any one night. The park was divided into 4 arenas with separate stereo systems in all, with each one being independently controllable and time-aligned to the main venue.

The main arena ("Miniland") comprised two hangs of eight Meyer Sound M2D curvilinear array cabinets suspended from tee-pees which straddled four E.M. Acoustics MSE-118 "Quake" subwoofers in a butterfly configuration. "The quality of the M2D's mid/ high reproduction was complement by the fantastic depth of the Quakes, giving a very full sound right to the back of the arena, which was over 120m away", commented system designer Dave Shepherd.

The "Harbour" system comprised two towers with a pair of Meyer MSL-4 long-throw loudspeakers and two PSW-4 subwoofers on each, whilst the "Balloon School" contained a similar, but smaller, system of two pairs of Meyer CQ-1's and four Meyer 650-P's subwoofers. There was also a small relay system to "The Beginning" comprising two Meyer UPA-1P's and six Meyer MPS-355's.

The audio for the event was fed from the firing computer used to trigger the fireworks meaning that the flashes in the sky remained synchronised to the music coming from the P.A. systems at all times. The systems were also used for safety announcements across the entire park for the duration of the event. All systems were delayed and equalised using BSS Omnidrive Compact Plus' and were connected using an awful lot of multicores!
