Contents:
The audio dictionary -- The art and science of good acoustics -- Some frequently used symbols and units -- How to subdue a hi-fi salesperson -- Good acoustics in small rooms and auditoria -- Some notes on audio measurements -- The balanced line -- Some notes on digital audio -- Musical scales and the tuning of musical instruments -- Some notes on the history of high fidelity -- Some notes on decimal and binary arithmetic as used in computer terminology -- Some notes on impedance and frequency response.
Review: "The Audio Dictionary is a comprehensive resource of contemporary as well as historical, obsolete, and obscure terms relating to diverse aspects of audio - film and TV sound, recording, Hi-Fi, and acoustics. The Third Edition includes: four hundred new entries, such as AAC (advanced audio coding), lip synch, metadata, MP3, and satellite radio; every term from previous editions has been reconsidered and often rewritten; guest entries by Dennis Bohn, cofounder and head of research and development at Rane Corporation, and film sound expert Larry Blake, whose credits include Erin Brockovich and Ocean's Eleven; and the appendixes - tutorials that gather a lifetime's worth of experience in acoustics - include both new and greatly expanded articles."--Jacket.
