At Yamaha , we've been putting all our sound reinforcement expertise into our equipment for years. Now we've put it all into words. Presenting the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook. Without a doubt the only volume of its kind. If you ' re starting fresh , you should also get a book on the basics , such as Yamaha ' s Sound Reinforcement Handbook. 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. 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. Basic Live Sound Reinforcement is a handbook for audio engineers and live sound enthusiasts performing in small venues from one-mike coffee shops to clubs. With their combined years of teaching and writing experience, the authors provide you with a thorough foundation of the theoretical and the practical, offering more advanced beginners a complete overview of the industry, the gear, and the art of mixing, while making sure to remain accessible to those just starting out. It discusses in detail the components and layout of sound reinforcement systems and gives examples and case studies of successfully installed systems. It is jam-packed with practical tools, expert tips and cost-effective methods for increasing sales and creating loyal clients.

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. They require you to buy and connect an external power amp to turn them on. These are more common in larger permanent installations. To connect passive speakers to your console, run an XLR from their main outputs of the console to the inputs on your power amps, then connect the outputs of the power amps to the inputs of the speakers using TS or Speakon cables. If only two active subwoofers are used, you can simply route the main outputs of your console to the inputs of the subwoofers. These usually include lots of DSP digital signal processors like EQ, compression, limiting and stereo imaging: but most importantly, they allow you to split a stereo signal to eight or more outputs, which gives you the freedom to include multiple subs. Stage monitors are connected essentially the same way the mains are connected, only using the aux outputs instead of the main outputs. Always start at the beginning of the signal chain — the console. Then, simply follow the chain down the line. Boot up the GEQs next, followed by the crossover and any additional processing. Analog consoles can be really intimidating. Some of them have 32 channels, dozens of knobs and more LED lights than your average Christmas tree. It all starts with the input of the preamp. If you want to increase the volume of a signal, you should reach for the channel fader, not the gain knob. Gain can be thought of as mic sensitivity. Too much gain and the signal can clip and distort. Too little gain and the signal feels weak and noisy. Every desk is different, but this is usually where the signal turns from green to yellow or orange. Just make sure you keep it out of the red! After setting the levels on the preamp, slowly bring up the channel fader until the instrument is at the appropriate volume. Up next is the EQ section. Next, your signal runs through the Aux Send section. Most analog consoles have 4 or more aux sends, which can be used to duplicate signals and route them to one of two places: stage monitors, or FX processors like reverb or delay. To send a signal to an Aux Send, simply find the Aux Send section of the desired channel, and turn up the send to the corresponding Aux. Remember, when using outboard FX processors, you can send a signal from the Aux Sends, but if you actually want to hear the effect you need to return it as well. Most consoles have dedicated Stereo Aux Returns specifically for FX, although literally any channel input will do. Sure, some engineers choose to tilt their toms a little this way or move a keyboard over there to get it out of the way in a busy mix, but overall most signals are panned in the center. The next piece of the channel strip is the fader. Get to know how the fader feels under your fingers. Become one with the fader. From there, you need to tell the signal where to go. Often times, engineers use channel strips to process individual signals and use subgroups to balance the mix. Think about it; what are you going to do, pull up eight mics simultaneously during the drum solo? By routing similar signals to subgroups like drums, bass, guitars, vocals, etc , you can balance levels by controlling multiple mics at once, leaving your other hand free to mix effects, run lights, or fight off the droves of groupies that are always fighting to hang out with the sound engineer.
