Description
Handbook for Sound Engineers is the most comprehensive reference available for audio engineers. All audio topics are explored: if you
work on anything related to audio you should not be without this book! The 4th edition of this trusted reference has been updated to
reflect changes in the industry since the publication of the 3rd edition in 2002 -- including new technologies like software-based recording
systems such as Pro Tools and Sound Forge; digital recording using MP3, wave files and others; mobile audio devices such as iPods and
MP3 players.
Over 40 topics are covered and written by many of the top professionals for their area in the field, including Glen Ballou
on interpretation systems, intercoms, assistive listening, and image projection; Ken Pohlmann on compact discs and DVDs; David Miles
Huber on MIDI; Dr. Eugene Patronis on amplifier design and outdoor sound systems; Bill Whitlock on audio transformers and preamplifiers;
Pat Brown on fundamentals and gain structures; Ray Rayburn on virtual systems and digital interfacing; and Dr. Wolfgang Ahnert on computer-aided
sound system design and acoustics for concert halls.
