The best general primer on sound I've found thusfar:

http://www.tiem.utk.edu/~gross/sounden2.txt

It's very basic and general, but it's something a lot of folks I know ought to read.

Dave, or Derek, or someone with power here, is there a chance we could get this as a stickey? There're some good posts in here that link to good information. My apologies if there's already something like this.

I suppose that's not a bad idea, so consider it stuck :-)

Most of these address specific issues, but they have been very helpful.

Despite the title, I see several useful reference documents posted. Similar to the links in the post above this one, these are not primers or tutorials.

Very ery useful for intercom systems.

Handbook of Intercom Systems Engineering

If you are interested in the engineering aspects of sound system design, the 2 parts of the JBL Sound System Design Reference Manual are great.

Sound System Design Reference Manual pt.1
Sound System Design Reference Manual pt.2

Naturally the price is right.

Economically,

The best essay I have read on three channel mixing for live sound is Jim Brown's Mixing For Three-Channel Reinforcement.

I see more references to surround sound on the forums. The Recording Academy's Producers & Engineers Wing Recommendations For Surround Sound Production is an excellent summary of current state of the art for surround sound for film, TV, home, disco and car use.

Naturally the price is still right

Multi-directionally economical,

This is something everyone should know...

How to coil cable...

Stagecraft: Members' Gallery: Over/Under Cable Wrapping (QuickTime)

I just found this and have not seen a reference to it to it here.

Lectrsonics Wireless Guide

It is quite technical, similar in quality as Jim Brown's papers (uh, are Jim Brown's papers referenced anywhere on the site?), but with few more pictures and obviously Lectrosonics products featured.

While I am second guessing what has been referenced, I'll third guess and ask if Shure's excellent documents on wireless systems have been referenced yet.

No guesses,
Andre

They are now, Audio Systems Group, Inc. Publications.

Also Common Acoustical and Sound System Problems, Mc Squared System Design Group, Inc. - JavaScript Calculator Features and MC Squared Systems Design Group, Inc.- Recommended Reference Books. The last is huge list of reference books, probably the most complete list I've seen for audio, acoustics and AV.
