this guy knows his live sound Feb 21, 2006 This book is the end all/be all of live sound. It covers everything you need to know...from what the knobs do, to what rooms have different sound qualities and how to adjust. It's perfect. As a professional touring musician, this is one of the most detailed books I've read on the issue. I highly recommend it.

Useless May 12, 2004 250 8x11 pages without a single picture, drawing, image, graphic, table, graph or equation. Zero. Not one.The section on calculating the net impedance of speakers without an equation is hilarious: "This means turning each number on its head, then adding the numbers in this form, then changing the resulting number back to ordinary form." I bet you have never thought of an XLR connector as "three small round pins/holes forming a triangular pattern inside an 18mm diameter circle." There is also some questionable information, such as "the gain setting knobs [on an amplifier] should generally be set at maximum..." Never seen that one in print. Much better choices for an actual book are Davis: "Sound Reinforcement Handbook" and Stark: "Live Sound Reinforcement".

Very well written Aug 05, 2003 I bought this and the Live Sound Reinforcement book (Scott Hunter Stark) at the same time. While this one lacks many illustrations, the ones in LSR were really hokey and obviously hadn't been updated in many years (or lacked effort from the start). This book is well written, and comprehensive. I only found one section in the other book that wasn't explicitly included in this one, and it was covered in the eq section (LSR spells out 'ringing out the room' or finding feedback before it finds you....). Some diagrams would have been helpful at times, but most of the concepts were explained very well in the text.
