Thoughts on Book

#1 Post by doncolga »

Sound System Design and Optimization by Bob McCarthy has been recommended to me by a friend who works in sound. Any of you all familiar with that?

That book looks good, it’s on my list to buy some day. I was able to find a sample with the first 50 pages or so and it appears to me to be of value. I would buy the Yamaha book first if you don’t have it yet it’s cheaper and one of the best I have seen

Donny, I remember that book had been "suggested reading" a few times, on this site back a number of years ago.
