Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Sound Engineer's pocket Book is a collection of important facts and information that cannot easily be carried in the heads of those needing to remember it. if you are a professional audio engineer, responsible for broadcast or studio recording or a student on a music technology or sound recording course you will find this an essential part of your work kit. This is a handy, compact source of essential data that every sound technician should have. It covers the very latest technology connected with sound: *noise measurement * acoustics * microphones * loudspeakers * mixing equipment * CDs, DAT, MIDI * telephony * ISDN * digital ineterfcaing * ultrasonics The author, Michael Talbot -Smith, has adapted and supplemented some of the most useful material from the comprehensive volume The Audio Engineer's Reference Book to fit into this more handy pocket book. He is now freelance audio consultant and technical writer, having for many years trained audio enginerrs at the BBC's training center near Evesham.
