Reviews"This is one of the best sources for audio information." Jay Kadis, Stanford University "The book is a wonderful resource." Cliff Edwards, Manager of Broadcast Engineering, Texas Southern University "The audio industry has seen many changes since the previous edition, particularly in the digital area, all of which are included in this edition." - audioXpress "There's a book out there called Handbook for Sound Engineers, Third Edition, and it pretty much explains everything...It's like the Bible. I keep it right under my bed." Thes One, from People Under The Stairs - quoted in Remix Magazine "...a worth-while investment by anyone involved in audio electronics or acoustics. Well recommended." Lighting and Sound magazine "I have a first edition and it's been my audio bible for years." Ken Paschke, Broadcast Engineer
