(Book). This up-to-date book comprehensively covers all aspects of
speech and music sound reinforcement. It is roughly divided into
four sections: Section 1 provides the tutorial fundamentals that
all audio engineers will need, discussing subjects such as
fundamentals of acoustics, psychoacoustics, basic electrical theory
and digital processing. Section 2 deals with the fundamental
classes of hardware that the modern engineer will use, such as
loudspeaker systems and components, microphones, mixers, amplifiers
and signal processors. Special attention is given to digital
techniques for system control and to audio signal analysis. Section
3 deals with the basics of system design, from concept to final
realization. It covers topics such as basic system type and speech
intelligibility, site survey, user needs analysis and project
management. Section 4 discusses individual design areas, such as
sports facilities, large-scale tour sound systems, high-level music
playback, systems for the theater, religious facilities, and other
meeting spaces. The book is written in an accessible style, but
does not lack for ample amounts of technical information. It is
