This revised edition adds nearly 40 pages on MIDI, synchronization, and logarithms, enhanced with clear diagrams and an easy-to-navigate index. A must-have for professionals seeking timeless, hands-on expertise in sound reinforcement. ## Description (Yamaha Products). Sound reinforcement is the use of audio amplification systems. This book is the first and only book of its kind to cover all aspects of designing and using such systems for public address and musical performance. The book features information on both the audio theory involved and the practical applications of that theory, explaining everything from microphones to loudspeakers. This revised edition features almost 40 new pages and is even easier to follow with the addition of an index and a simplified page and chapter numbering system. New topics covered include: MIDI, Synchronization, and an Appendix on Logarithms. 416 Pages. Review: A very practical Handbook - Because this is a thick book (over 400 pages), I initially assumed this was an academic textbook, and I worried whether the writing was practical enough. But this isn't true at all: as the title states, it is a Handbook. The preface explains that it started life as a manual to accompany Yamaha's first console (the PM-1000), and went much further than just explaining how to operate the console, instead dealing with the much wider topic of the basics of sound reinforcement. It was very popular - more popular than the console - so the authors eventually expanded the material into this book. The writing is extremely practical, with a some supporting theory. I find the writing extremely clear and unambiguous, helped by the hundreds of supporting diagrams. I see no mention of computers - this second edition is from 1989, so you'll need to look elsewhere to understand that aspect, but analog audio (mics, speakers, cables...) is of course still massively important. Finally - I really like this quote from page 313: "Combining basic principles in creative ways to solve individual problems is the essence of professional sound". Review: Great guide - Great guide ## Features - The book features information on both the audio theory involved and the practical applications explaining from microphones to loudspeakers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 80,303 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 60 in Music Recording & Sound 93 in Music Techniques | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 568 Reviews | ## Images ![The Sound Reinforcement Handbook (Second Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71V0av8cSLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very practical Handbook *by A***Y on 24 January 2017* Because this is a thick book (over 400 pages), I initially assumed this was an academic textbook, and I worried whether the writing was practical enough.
