4.0 out of 5 stars I Wanted More, March 8, 2001

By	S. Tomashek "Scott" (Appleton, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Audio Systems Technology, Level #1 (Paperback)

Audio Systems Technology Level 1 provides a basic platform for understanding the installation process of audio systems. While the information is well written and easy to understand, as a person with real world knowledge of audio systems, I was expecting more technical information. So if you are a Sound Engineer or DJ with road experience, you might want to start at Level 2. If you are a raw recruit in the audio world, this is a great book. The format is excellent, with quiz questions at the end of each chapter, a chapter on first aid and safety, and information about where to take tests to become a certified Audio Systems Installer. I know I will be purchasing level two and level three.
