Sound Reinforcement for Audio Engineers illustrates the current state of the art in sound reinforcement.
Beginning with an outline of various fields of applications, from sports venues to religious venues, corporate environments and cinemas, this book is split into twelve sections covering room acoustics, loudspeakers, microphones, and acoustic modelling among many other topics.
Ending with a comprehensive appendix packed with references and a historical overview of sound reinforcement design, this is the essential reference book for both students of acoustics and electrical engineering, but also for engineers looking to expand their knowledge of designing sound reinforcement systems.
