This thoroughly revised and long awaited new edition builds on the success of the 1991 third edition. This classic reference text considers the theory and practice of sound behaviour in closed spaces; a key area for acoustical engineers worldwide. It is of particular interest to those working on auditoria and will therefore stand as an excellent complement to Barron's Auditorium Acoustics. This new edition includes important new material on the growth of digital technology and sound intensity.

Concert Sound and Lighting Systems, 2ed takes the mystery out of equipment and set-up procedures for touring concert systems. Even someone who has never picked up an amp can learn the basic sound and lighting components and how they all work together in a safe and effective package that makes the most of the equipment at hand. This book is divided evenly between sound and lighting systems, and each section concludes with an easy-to-follow discussion of the set-up procedure for a typical show. Nearly 100 drawings and photographs illustrate how to use the equipment properly. The appendixes provide electrical formulas, wiring information, sample checklists and safety procedures, and there is also a glossary of commonly used terms.

Why was Air Force Captain John Tower court-martialed - on a charge as absurd as adultery? Why are British, Russian, German, and American secret agents working overtime to put him away for good? What is the one devastating Cold War secret that unites the world's four superpowers?

Understanding and Crafting the Mix, 3rd edition provides the framework to identify, evaluate, and shape your recordings with clear and systematic methods. Featuring numerous exercises, this third edition allows you to develop critical listening and analytical skills to gain greater control over the quality of your recordings. Sample production sequences and descriptions of the recording engineer’s role as composer, conductor, and performer provide you with a clear view of the entire recording process. Dr. William Moylan takes an inside look into a range of iconic popular music, thus offering insights into making meaningful sound judgments during recording. His unique focus on the aesthetic of recording and mixing will allow you to immediately and artfully apply his expertise while at the mixing desk. A companion website features recorded tracks to use in exercises, reference materials, additional examples of mixes and sound qualities, and mixed tracks.

The International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging is a unique forum for advanced research, covering new technologies, developments, methods and theories in all areas of acoustics. This interdisciplinary Symposium has been taking place continuously since 1968. In the course of the years the proceedings volumes in the Acoustical Imaging Series have become a reference for cutting-edge research in the field. In 2011 the 31st International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging was held in Warsaw, Poland, April 10-13. Offering both a broad perspective on the state-of-the-art as well as  in-depth research contributions by the specialists in the field, this Volume 31 in the Series contains an excellent collection of papers in six major categories: Biological and Medical ImagingPhysics and Mathematics of Acoustical ImagingAcoustic MicroscopyTransducers and ArraysNondestructive Evaluation and Industrial ApplicationsUnderwater Imaging

Blauert's and Xiang's "Acoustics for Engineers" provides the material for an introductory course in engineering acoustics for students with basic knowledge in mathematics. In the second, enlarged edition, the teaching aspects of the book have been substantially improved. Carefully selected examples illustrate the application of acoustic principles and problems are provided for training."Acoustics for Engineers" is designed for extensive teaching at the university level. Under the guidance of an academic teacher it is sufficient as the sole textbook for the subject. Each chapter deals with a well defined topic and represents the material for a two-hour lecture. The 15 chapters alternate between more theoretical and more application-oriented concepts.
