DESCRIPTION:
Special attention is given to digital techniques for system control and to audio signal analysis. (Book). Section 3 deals with the basics of system design, from concept to final realization. The book is written in an accessible style, but does not lack for ample amounts of technical information. It is roughly divided into four sections: Section 1 provides the tutorial fundamentals that all audio engineers will need, discussing subjects such as fundamentals of acoustics, psychoacoustics, basic electrical theory and digital processing. It covers topics such as basic system type and speech intelligibility, site survey, user needs analysis and project management. Section 4 discusses individual design areas, such as sports facilities, large-scale tour sound systems, high-level music playback, systems for the theater, religious facilities, and other meeting spaces. Section 2 deals with the fundamental classes of hardware that the modern engineer will use, such as loudspeaker systems and
A compilation EPS A compilationDespite the editorial claim that" Audio engineering is truly a book for the 21st century", I found it to be little more than a compilation drawn from other books - especially the classic Yamaha "Sound Reinforcement handbook" by Gary Davis and the "Master Handbook of Acoustics". In all fairness, one must admit that it is a difficult task to bring something new in a wake of the abovementioned standard works; nonetheless my expectations were high since the book under consideration bea. Same old information This book is not for beginners or for the experience sound professional.If you have gone through the books by Yamaha or the Davis's you have hit most of the info given out in this book.If you begin with the first chapter on decibels your head will be spining.The decibel and its usage is a complicated matter which needs a good laymans explanation for a novice is poorly presented. Example a newcomer to sound may ask if I double my distance from 10 feet to twenty feet from a free field source will. "Excellent detailed overview of sound engineering" according to TN. Foreman and Eargle's book on audio engineering provides an excellent introduction to the vast field, especially for an amateur sound engineer such as myself. The material is laid out in several thorough sections, beginning with the fundamentals of sound and acoustics, moving to descriptions of equipment, and finally practical applications and sound system design. The book progresses smoothly and logically.The material does get rather technical at times and there are quite a few formulas and gra
