Vietnam - Eighty contestants competed this year at the Diamond Bay Resort's Crown Convention Center in the 57th Miss Universe beauty pageant. Broadcast globally on NBC, the event was the first major U.S.-based television production originating in Vietnam since the end of the Vietnam War.

Bringing audio to the event proved to be a logistical challenge managed adroitly by Red Hook, NY-based Firehouse Productions which assembled the components needed for an entire PA in the US and then shipped them to Vietnam. Purchased outright for permanent installation by the convention centre, the system included a microphone package delivered directly from Shure Incorporated's world headquarters in Niles, Illinois.
