4.0 out of 5 stars Public Address Portion of Handbook, January 8, 2002
By B. K. Lunde "bk17005" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
I found the public address portion of this handbook the most complete and helpful of any in the largest technical book store in Washington, DC. It discusses practical and theoretical aspects of public address system design. I finally "got" the Haas effect.
