It was not until the 1970s that the production of electronically produced sound for the theatre was generally accepted as a technical art. Today sound is an accepted part of theatrical performance and the sound designer has at his disposal equipment rivaling that of broadcasting and recording studios in sophistication. David Collison was one of the first leading authorities on theatre sound. Beginning with a basic introduction to both natural and electronically produced sound for the non-technical reader. Collison then goes on to discuss the component parts of a sound system and how to connect them together. Techniques of recording and editing are discussed with particular reference to the creation of sound effects, including a fascinating section on live and mechanical noise-machines. Microphone techniques and sound systems for musicals are considered in relation to the author's own wide experience in this field. The final chapter describes some permanent theatre sound installations including the one for the National theatre of Great Britain, for which the author acted as sound consultant. Throughout the book, there is useful advice on the most suitable equipment for particular applications with hints on how to achieve the best results. 120 line drawings and 50 black-and-white photographs clarify technical points.
