Video Supplies "Sound" Advice

  • 02/01/97

Suited for educators who need a basic understanding of sound systems, Understanding Sound Systems is a videotape that covers everything educators need to help design, install and operate a sound system.

Based on 20 years experience in designing, installing and operating sound systems, the video is designed to help beginners as well as individuals with more advanced experience. Topics covered include: eliminating feedback, using linear transducers, understanding the different types of microphones and loudspeakers, and more.
