{"product_id":"9780240818467","title":"Sound System Engineering by Pat Brown","description":"Long considered one of the key books on the well-informed audio engineer's shelf, Sound System Engineering provides an accurate, complete, and concise tool for all those involved in designing, implementing, and testing sound reinforcement systems. This new fourth edition includes eight new chapters leading the reader through both cutting-edge topics-e.g., IBM's proposed thought-controlled sound system-and solid basics, such as loudspeaker specifications, wave equations, and digital audio.   Topics covered include:  Psychoacoustics and how the brain processes sound  Digital theory  Mathematics for audio systems  Using the decibel  Interfacing electrical and acoustical systems  Audio and acoustic measurements  Large room and small room acoustics  Designing for acoustic gain  Designing for speech intelligibility  Wave equations  Microphones  Loudspeakers, loudspeaker arrays, and loudspeaker directivity  Power ratings for amplifiers and loudspeakers  Computer-aided system design  Signal delay, signal synchronization, and signal processing  Sound system equalizationPacked with numerous illustrations and useful appendices, this is a concentrated capsule of industry standards and knowledge that spans the complete range of sound systems, from the simplest all-analog paging systems to the largest multi-purpose digital systems.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56228924490101,"sku":"9780240818467","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780240818467.jpg?v=1762256922","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780240818467","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
