Abstract	In this valuable handbook, the mysteries of amplifiers, speakers, synthesizers, and associated equipment confronting musicians working with electric instruments are lucidly explained in nontechnical language and clearly illustrated in photographs and simple schematic drawings. The authors, experienced performers themselves, deal with both theory and practice for the player on stage and in the studio. This is the first reference work for musicians which discusses the practical side of choosing electric equipment and instruments, and which fully covers their setting up and use, and even their transport and maintenance. The book starts out by describing some popular sources of sound, including electric pianos, guitars, and organs, and how various kinds of microphones differ. The authors then explain how an amplification system functions and describe the workings of instrumental amplifiers, public address amplifiers, speaker systems and combination amplifiers. [...] The chapter on stage setup gives practical guidelines applicable to almost any situation, and one titled 'Performance' discusses some of the problems involved in playing various electric instruments. A chapter on recording acquaints the musician with the great variety of studio conditions likely to be met and describes the setting up of a home studio. It also explains the importance of demonstration tapes and gives practical advice for making them. In chap. 7, 'Electronic music,' the authors explain the functioning and potentialities of the synthesizer and give detailed descriptions of various types--Moog, ARP, and EMS. An appendix of the physics of sound is included. This is a practical manual which does not assume that the reader will already have a deep knowledge of the electrical theory involved; rather it gives easily understood directions and, with good-natured humor, steers musicians through the bewildering maze of technicalities confronting them.
