Summary: Tenth Edition NAB Engineering Handbook
Rating: 5
If you’re in the technical side of broadcasting, this handbook should be considered as a core text for your library. It’s probably the most comprehensive, up to date, and technically accurate handbook that you can buy. Only authors with a proven track record and many years of experience are invited by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) to be authors, and those submissions are peer-reviewed before being finalized.
The only down sides are first that it’s heavy (if you drop it on your foot you will probably be crippled for life) and second it’s not printed in color; however, the handbook comes with a CD that includes colored versions of figures and tables where the contributing authors’ figures/tables were in color.
Purchasing this handbook should be a no-brainer decision if you work in broadcasting or broadcast-related technical fields. It’s a valuable reference tool.
