Members notlimah Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hi All,This is my first post, I have been lurking and learning for a while. Can anyone recomend a good basic book explaining the functions and set-up of a PA system? My friends and I like to play P&W songs for church functions as well as some classic rock tunes in the front yard. I'm not looking to have the ultimate set-up but don't mind spending a little money to make the sound respectable. Just looking for a guide of some sorts. Thanks in advance, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted February 23, 2007 CMS Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yamaha "Sound Reinforcement Handbook" by Davis and Jones is pretty much the Bible. About $30, can be found at typical franchise bookstores or obviously, Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dravenzouk Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 There is tons and tons of great (and not so great) stuff available on the internet that's instant and free. Many of the better guides are in pdf format so they can be downloaded and printed out nicely. This here is amongst the best for what you are looking for:http://www.yorkville.com/downloads/other/paguide.pdf Check out manufacturer's websites, FAQ's on different forums (BlueRoom Backstage is good), and the excellent "Study Hall" on ProSoundWeb (http://www.prosoundweb.com/studyhall/) The Yami book is good and worth having, but check into these resources first. You will have plenty of great info to read and absorb before deciding on spending money and waiting for delivery of the book. The power of the internet, yeah!!!
