Product Description

* Covers small, fixed and mobile systems
* Build an efficient sound system
* Successful monitor mixing
* Avoid feedback and hum
* Practical use of effects
* Case studies

Whether you are an engineer working with a large sound system, or just a gigging band using a few amps and a mixer, you'll get more out of your sound system with this book.

Its hands-on approach covers choice and use of microphones, direct injection, mixing, monitoring and foldback, automation and MIDI, and use of effects - EQ, compressors, reverb and delay. There are sections on multimedia, troubleshooting, minimising mains interference, hum and feedback, and some welcome advice on safety aspects of a live gig.

It includes case studies of a rock concert, a classical concert, a cabaret show, and a musical production in a theatre. With a chapter on connectors and the principles of sound, the whole thing is nicely rounded off with a glossary of terms and a useful list of industry contacts.

A sound investment!

5.0 out of 5 stars PA for Performing Musicians - P Buick, June 13, 2009
1st edition; published '96 -
Very well written & easy to understand for the neophyte. As expected, it doesn't cover certain topics in the interest of simplicity. Lots of diagrams, photos and graphs explaining the different cooncepts tackled.

An update is necessary.

All in all, quite a good buy.
