The Acoustic Musician's Guide to Sound Reinforcement and Live Recordings was created�as an�introduction to Music Business, Audio Technology, Music Technology, Recording, and Sound Reinforcement courses at the undergraduate level.�This text offers down-to-earth guidance on how to set-up the stage for acoustic acts, including selection and stage placement of speakers, amplifiers, microphones, and pick-ups. It also discusses how bands can work successfully with a sound engineer, and set up effective sound system components.

Readers will learn how they can buy the equipment that will enable them to accomplish their goals by distinguishing between advertising hype and pragmatic functions.�Learn how to choose the venue, how to purchase equipment, how to rent field recording services, and how to hook all the components together correctly, as well as set up the 'mix' for the musicians on stage and the audience.

Written by a musician and engineer with 25 years experience in performance, recording, and sound reinforcement, it seeks to correct common misinformation about sound systems components, and is the only book of its kind to date which combines sound reinforcement and live recording techniques.

Excellent for removing hair from your feet—or wherever else you wish. It is very practical, and the battery lasts a good while. Highly recommended.

Lousy and not worth the money
Color: Purple
I bought this be a use it had an excellent rating and I guess I’ll be the first honest review. I was surprised to see this is no better than others. Lousy. NOT pain-free - still cut my skin. After charging all night, the battery depleted in one use. Absolutely HATE the button placement and kept accidentally hitting the bottom button. Had to be very mindful of how to hold the wand which made for some very awkward poses. Not a close shave at all and had to still go over all areas with a standard razor. Returning this.

Perfect compact size and works well!
Wow, this thing is really powerful and safe doesn’t cut you. It has different settings. One on the bottom one on the top. This is amazing. You seriously have to get it easy to carry in my purse. If I missed a spot while shaving in the bath, this is definitely my go to.

Love this protection plan
Quick and easy. My daughter's cracked her screen on her phone, as soon as it happened I went on the app, filed the claim. Ten minutes later I received the email with the shipping lable. The following day I dropped the phone off at ups and 4 hours later I received the digital gift card. Ive filed several claims since getting the protection plan and with four kids its definitelysomething im glad to have especially since i dont have to buy a protectionplan for each item now. I have filed claims for electric scooter the stoped working for no reason, my son's phone stopped charging, my oldest daughter cracked her phone screen, my son's video game controllers up and died and each time it was quick and easy and no fuss
