There are many texts on electronic theory and many on acoustic theory, but I have never found one overall text that seems appropriate for the sound engineer on the road. I hope these notes go some way towards providing that text. There is a vast amount of information that needs to be distilled onto these pages and like the best whisky it'll take time to mature, so please bear with me during this process. If you see any errors or want any other information to be added, email me on roland@rolandhigham.co.uk.

The information is broken down into the following catagories:

---

Acoustic things

Wave theory (including reflection and refraction), inverse square law, near field, reverberant field, using phase checkers & other test equipment, setting delay times, reducing feedback, etc. etc

Electronic things

Amplifiers, gains (including dB), gain structures, clip levels, limit points etc.

Pinouts & wiring

Common wiring schedules for audio, data and some video terminations.

Sources & further reading
