Description
Audio for Television outlinines all the relevant principles and practices. Newcomers to the field will find it an invaluable, up to date
resource and experienced sound people will gain from the explanations of new technology.
The rate of change in the technology
of television sound has recently accelerated to such a degree that it is now a sufficiently expansive subject to warrant a book of its
own. These rapid changes, from the introduction first of stereo, then multi-channel or surround sound, have made it difficult for those
working in this field to keep up with the technology and even harder for those just setting out on a career in television sound.
The
book considers analog and digital audio as alternatives and stresses the advantages of both. Microphone and loudspeaker technology is
also discussed in some detail and audio recording and routing and transmission are also covered.
Audience:
Students and lecturers on audio TV coursesPractising audio engineers wishing to update their knowledge
