The Sound System Design Primer is an introduction to the many topics, technologies, and sub-disciplines that make up contemporary sound systems design. Written in clear, conversational language for those who do not have an engineering background, or who think more in language than in numbers, The Sound System Design Primer provides a solid foundation in this expanding discipline for students, early/mid-career system designers, creative and content designers seeking a better grasp on the technical side of things, and non-sound professionals who want or need to be able to speak intelligently with sound system designers.

Practical Audio Electronics is a comprehensive introduction to basic audio electronics and the fundamentals of sound circuit building, providing the reader with the necessary knowledge and skills to undertake projects from scratch. Imparting a thorough foundation of theory alongside the practical skills needed to understand, build, modify, and test audio circuits, this book equips the reader with the tools to explore the sonic possibilities that emerge when electronics technology is applied innovatively to the making of music. Suitable for all levels of technical proficiency, this book encourages a deeper understanding through highlighted sections of advanced material and example projects including circuits to make, alter, and amplify audio, providing a snapshot of the wide range of possibilities of practical audio electronics. An ideal resource for students, hobbyists, musicians, audio professionals, and those interested in exploring the possibilities of hardware-based sound and music creation.

Are you looking for a practical way to learn Audio Basics and Fundamentals but need help figuring out where to start? This technical booklet is for you! This booklet will assist aspiring Audio Technicians and Sound Engineers with developing the technical knowledge and skills to succeed. Are you a musician? Most musicians need help understanding the technical elements or the fundamentals of the musical equipment and audio systems they work with. But now musicians have an option! Our specialized guide is designed to help you understand the important technical basics. We use practical information, video clips, and handouts to help simplify the information. We will cover the basics, including audio cables and connectors, basic audio theory (to include impedance, balanced/unbalanced, line/mic levels, and attenuators), how to repair and make your own cables, test your equipment (cables, speakers, microphones, power, etc.), and even troubleshoot and quickly evaluate common problems. Knowing and understanding this information "can" and "will" help save you time and money. All the information is detailed but simplified as well. The video clips (links are shown in blue) will help bring it all together. Read the booklet, and view the information in action on the video clips for a comprehensive "Interactive" learning experience. After reading this booklet, you can make new cables or repair your existing cables, perform basic tests and measurements, and troubleshoot (and possibly repair) common problems such as cable / speaker / microphone issues, scratchy gain controls, hum / noise, no power, mixer inputs and outputs, signal issues, and 70-Volt systems – that could save you time and money.

How signal processing works: clear, simple explanations in plain English Breakthrough DSP applications: from smartphones to healthcare and beyond Covers both digital and analog signals An indispensable resource for tech writers, marketers, managers, and other nonengineers The Complete DSP Guide for Businesspeople and Nontechnical Professionals Digital signal processing (DSP) technology is everywhere–each time you use a smartphone, tablet, or computer; play an MP3; watch a digital TV or DVD; get GPS directions; play a video game; take a digital photo; or even have an MRI, DSP technology is at work. Now, for the first time, The Essential Guide to Digital Signal Processing offers readers of all levels simple, plain-English explanations of digital and analog signals and modern DSP applications. Whether you sell technology, write about it, manage it, fix it, or invest in it, this is the book for you. Using everyday examples and simple diagrams, two leading DSP consultants and instructors completely demystify signal processing. You’ll discover what digital signals are, how they’re generated, and how they’re changing your life. You’ll learn all you need to know about digital signal collection, filtering, analysis, and more, and how DSP works in today’s most exciting devices and applications. Coverage includes How engineers understand and work with analog signal spectra and frequencies How digital signals are generated and used in modern electronic devices The surprising things that happen when analog signals are converted to digital form How (and why) engineers compute digital signal spectra with Fourier transforms What wavelets are and how they’re used everywhere, from medicine to the camera in your smartphone How digital filters are used in DSP applications Cutting-edge DSP applications, from automatic music-tuning software to medical EKG signal analysis A comprehensive glossary of signal processing terminology and acronyms You’ll gain a clear, conceptual understanding of all key signal processing operations and vocabulary. That means you’ll understand much of the “magic” built into today’s newest devices, and you’ll be ready to succeed in virtually any nontechnical role that requires DSP knowledge.
