About the Book

The third edition of this book deals with the full range of problems encountered in using microphones to generate a stereophonic or monophonic audio signal. It appreciates the importance of learning the techniques of mono, before advancing to the use of stereo equipment. The book includes sections on sound generations and sound itself, the different types of microphone that are available, sources of sound and the creative use of acoustics and electronic processing to modify the signal. There is a strong emphasis on aesthetic judgement and the approach is largely non-technical.
