Fabulous handbook for Audio Engineers

[Scott N. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a great book. Not nighttime reading, unless you have it for a textbook, but full of more information on audio and the engineering of sound and electricity than I think I can absorb in my lifetime.

Boring if you don't do this for a living, but very informative. I'm still reading it.
