I bought this as an Amazon recommendation as I had to learn how to operate a new live (church) PA system (lots of vocals, guitars, keyboard, drums, etc., and a very mixed "audience"). It has both encouraged me and challenged me, and certainly resulted in a better first attempt to use the new system. Well written, easy to understand for the non-technical, and probably more in it than my initial needs. Other books in the series have helped as well. A great investment - inexpensive and comprehensive.

I lead a sound team at my church (His People) in London. This book has been an excellent reference to brush up my knowledge again. Some very good theory and practical tips on mic setup etc.
It is a very good pocket reference for a whole range of things (cable connections, typical frequencies etc.)

Easy to read with basic understanding. Great series for beginners or people who need a reminder now and then, pocket size is perfect

Even though it says basic, the book does cover many aspects of working in the live sound environment, even for me who has been working as sound engineer foe many years, this book serves as a quick referencing guide, where other books would be bulky to have with you all the time. Dont expect to be a master of live sound after reading this book, however it will give you a very good start on working in the area.

This is literally a 'pocket' book and as such is very useful to carry about or leave in the car etc and provides a good 'on the hoof' reference source. At the back, there's a glossary of terminology which I found useful when listening to 'experts'. The sections within the book are well organised and go into sufficient depth to provide a basic understanding of the subject accompanied by nice simple diagrams where necessary for clarity (no pun intended!)I read this volume cover to cover in a couple of hours and like to feel that all the information was digested, time will tell! On a practical level I'm more confident in setting up my system and of matching components correctly to avoid potential damage or disharmony. I recommend this book to anyone needing a stable grounding in this subject.
I bought this together with a larger volume, (The Ultimate Sound Operators Handbook), which I will review later.

If you're involved in amateur or semi pro. music making, whether on stage, in a pub, or speaking at a conference, this is the book for you. A bit of previous experience might be useful, although it's not over-technical at all.
Format:Kindle Edition
very useful and straightforward to use. basic diagrams work well with the factual tone of the writing and seems easy to find what you are looking for. Goes beyond just the basics but does not get overcomplicated.
