Loudspeakers: For music recording and reproduction


Product Description
Need advice on which type of speaker to use and where? Very often the choice and positioning of loudspeakers is down to intuition, hearsay and chance. This practical guide explores the link between experience and the technology, giving you a better understanding of the tools you are using and why, leading to greatly improved results.Newell and Holland share years of experience in the design, application and use of loudspeakers for recording and reproducing music. Get practical advice on the applications of different loudspeakers to the different phases of the music recording and reproduction chain.
If you are using loudspeakers in a recording studio, mastering facility, broadcasting studio, film post production facility, home or musician's studio, or you inspire to improve your music reproduction system this book will help you make the right decisions.
Loudspeakers: For music recording and reproduction Review
"Loudspeakers For Music Recording and Reproduction" is simply excellent. Philip Newell and Keith Holland have produced a comprehensive book that discusses many issues that are not covered in other books.Whilst giving insights into the behaviour of loudspeaker transducers and systems, it also gives an understanding of the broader issues that underpin the design of loudspeaker systems and the qualities of the sound that they produce. The book is sufficiently comprehensive and detailed to be deemed a reference text, but it is written in such a readable way that it gives the reader an excellent grasp of the complex processes that govern how electrical energy is converted to sound at the listeners ears.
Newell and Holland deal with parameters that are directly associated with loudspeaker systems; amplifiers, cables, transducers, crossovers, enclosures, location relative to room boundaries, room acoustics and some psycho-acoustics.
This is not a cookbook giving design instructions or equations; this information can be found in many other texts and technical papers. The book's strength is its discussion of the technical factors that affect the quality of sound heard by the listener; this information is not readily found is such depth. It gives the reader a good handle on the things that really matter in the electro-acoustic and acoustic domains of sound reproduction.
Newell and Holland have conducted extensive research over the years into loudspeaker responses and room acoustics and have an excellent ability to bust audio myths with technical arguments that are grounded in real world application. They are regular presenters at academic and professional conferences, and this book contains a great deal of their work.
Noteworthy is the extensive discussion on their recent research on the audibility of phase delay and loss of modulation at low frequencies due to the loudspeaker's low frequency alignment and room acoustic properties.
I whole-heartedly endorse this book, and recommend it both to serious scholars of loudspeaker systems and to others who desire an enjoyable read about state of the art thinking about loudspeaker reproduction.
It is certainly part of my library.
