This is the long-awaited update and expansion of a widely recognized clas- sic in the field by pioneering acoustics expert, Leo L. Beranek. The book—
• Builds upon Beranek’s 1954 Acoustics classic by incorporating recent developments, practical formulas and methods for effective simulation,
• Uniquely, provides the detailed acoustic fundamentals which enable bet- ter understanding of complex design parameters, measurement methods and data,
• Brings together topics currently scattered across a variety of books and sources into one valuable reference, and
• Includes relevant case studies, real-world examples and solutions to bring the theory to life.
Acoustics: Sound Fields and Transducers is a modern expansion and re-work- ing of Acoustics, the 1954 classic reference written by Leo L. Beranek. Updated throughout and focused on electroacoustics with the needs of a broad range of acoustics engineers and scientists in mind, this new book retains and expands on the detailed acoustical fundamentals included in the original while adding prac- tical formulas and simulation methods for practicing professionals.
