520	1		_a"Like the first edition, Sound System Engineering is a comprehensive text ... useful in the day-to-day work of designing sound systems. It is a practical manual that carefully examines a step-by-step method of accurately predicting such variables as acoustic gain, speech intelligibility, and required electrical input power while plans are still on the drawing board. This approach can save your clients thousands of dollars." "Emphasizing the time-energy-frequency analyzer, the authors discuss problems that might occur in a sound system as it evolves through design, installation, equalization, operation, and maintenance." "The book contains 19 heavily illustrated, information-packed chapters and 11 appendixes." "This accurate, complete, and concise tool is a necessary addition to the library of anyone involved in audio engineering."--BOOK JACKET.
