Sound Assistance offers a highly readable and easy-to-understand
account of sound operations in radio and television studios. By
knowing the characteristics of the equipment, such as threshold and
compression ratios, it is much easier to achieve professional
effects quickly, saving hours of trial and error.
The book will suit anyone wishing to work as a sound assistant
but who does not have a thorough grounding in the maths and
physics. Written in an informal style with practical 'do's' and
'don'ts', the fundamental principles are explained. Where knowledge
of a higher level of maths is helpful, this information is given in
handy 'fact files'.
Particularly appropriate for students, training officers and
supervisors who have the task of passing on this information in a
simple, easy-to-digest format, Sound Assistance is written in
easy-to read language with a minimum of maths.
This second edition now has more on:
* Microphone sensitivities
* Loudspeaker listening tests
* Domestic colour code for stereo
* Stereo transmission in radio
* Stereo PPM interpretations
* MiniDisk
* Digital radio
* Recordable CDs.
