Handbook for Sound Engineers is the most comprehensive reference available for audio engineers, and is a must read for all who work in audio. This sixth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect changes in the industry, and includes nine new chapters on networked audio, sound system design, sound system verification, emergency sound and communication systems, assisted listening systems, sound masking, cinema sound, theater sound, and sound for touring systems.

The handbook features contributions from many of the top professionals in the field, with this new edition now incorporating chapters by Brian Christ, Aaron Johnson, John Loufik, Dr. Heather Malyuk, Rob Miller, Dan Mead, Ray Nardelli, Tom Ruhling, Dale Shirk, Hadi Sumoro, Xian Yu, Dr. Stefan Weinzierl, and Harry Witz. The chapters cover an extensive range of topics, from audio and acoustic DNA, MIDI, audio transformers, grounding and interfacing, room-acoustical fundamentals for auditoriums and concert halls, and speech intelligibility, to microphones, resistors, capacitors, inductors, tubes, solid state devices, wire and cable, and power supplies.

Covering everything from historical perspectives to modern technologies, Handbook for Sound Engineers is an essential text for serious audio and acoustic engineers.
