"Apart from the nuts and bolts, enough
theory and debate is provided to keep any practitioner or
sound student happy...Holman has a rare gift for simple explanation
of complex concepts. I have read many sound textbooks but
this volume has clarified things I never fully grasped before.
5.1 Surround Sound should be the first port of call if you
are new to the subject and will provide a good source of reference
for anyone already involved." - Studio Sound
