Another training resource

Hey tech fans. I was surfing across the internet checking out sound systems for churches when I stumbled upon another training resource for church sound. I have not read this one personally, but from the reviews others are giving it and the credentials of the authors, I would say it is a must have when training your church sound engineer. This book would also be put to good use as a general reference book when it comes to church sound and acoustics. The authors are Joseph De Buglioand and Blake Engel, who have set up many church sound systems in many different denominations around the world. You can purchase the book alone for $120 or the book and a cd that contains pdf files with color graphics of everything in the book for use on your work station pc. As this is the 3rd edition of the book you can be assured that it has been revised and tested. One advantage of this book is that it tells you when you need to seek professional help to fix a problem and when you can fix it yourself. Even though this book is a bit more pricy than the one in the previous entry, I would recomend spending the money on it. When you have sound technicians that understand the principles behind what they do, they can end up saving a church body a lot of money by avoiding costly system mistakes. Happy reading and remember, good, well trained people are worth more than fancy expensive equipment.
