Sound and Recording: Applications and Theory (Audio Engineering Society Presents) (English) 7th 版本

Providing vital reading for audio students and trainee engineers, this guide is ideal for anyone who wants a solid grounding in both theory and industry practices in audio, sound and recording. There are many books on the market covering "how to work it" when it comes to audio equipment--but Sound and Recording isn't one of them. Instead, you'll gain an understanding of "how it works" with this approachable guide to audio systems.

New to this edition:

• Digital audio section revised substantially to include the latest developments in audio networking (e.g. RAVENNA, AES X-192, AVB), high-resolution surround and parametric audio coding, workstation processing technology, mastering for iTunes, and loudness normalization
• Coverage of immersive audio systems such as Dolby Atmos, Auro 3D and WFS along with recent developments in audio object coding
• Sections on digital radio microphones, loudspeaker sensitivity issues and development, and highly directional loudspeaker systems
• Substantial new sections on recent developments in audio network device discovery and control and the Open Control Architecture

這本指南對於音頻學生和實習工程師來說是必讀的，對於想要在音頻、聲音和錄音的理論和行業實踐方面建立堅實基礎的人來說尤其適合。市場上有很多關於音頻設備“如何操作”的書籍，但《音頻與錄音》不是其中之一。相反，這本易於理解的指南將幫助您了解“它是如何工作的”。

本版的新增內容包括：

- 數字音頻部分大幅修訂，包括音頻網絡的最新發展（例如RAVENNA、AES X-192、AVB）、高解析度環繞聲和參數音頻編碼、工作站處理技術、iTunes的母帶處理和音量正規化。
- 對Dolby Atmos、Auro 3D和WFS等沉浸式音頻系統以及音頻對象編碼的最新發展的涵蓋。
- 關於數字無線麥克風、揚聲器靈敏度問題和發展以及高度定向揚聲器系統的重要新章節。
- 關於音頻網絡設備發現和控制以及開放控制架構的最新發展的重要新章節。
