Well I have not posted to this board in a while due to my change in type of work (More television based). But the email that popped up in my inbox inspired a post to give thanks the good advice it has brought on me.
Some of you might know, I was active a few years ago searching for new equipment to is adequate for my theatre. Thinks like a new lighting board popped up and other things. Well a few years later, Myself and my best friend with the help of our boss completely revamped the entire theatre from the ground up technically. From new lighting fixtures to a new lighting board, to a completely brand new sound system that was painstakingly put together piece by piece or more literally, solder point by solder point.
Within this huge revamp I decided that the sound system needed a manual to use because once I graduated, I knew this complex sound system would waste a way.
Remember that I was the only one that knew how everything was wired which took me years to figure out. Don't get me wrong it was a great learning experience but if I had a blueprint where everything went would have been greatly appreciated.
So over the course of a year and a half I wrote a book on my sound system. I contained a brief introduction to sound and I also pieced together multiple equipment manuals and white papers to form a coherent guide. In the back held the wiring diagrams of the theatre on top of other things.
To give thanks, Below I have posted the link to PDF of the book (Which is FREE!!), also if you would like to order a physical copy you can go to the LULU link.
The book 79.2 Mb (Click on the image):
