Master Handbook of Acoustics, Sixth Edition 6th Edition

As a conservatory graduated audio engineer, the applied science here in the first half of the book is a great refresher from class, providing a thorough course on sound, amplitude, waveforms, frequencies and the like. The latter part of the book is a great resource on how to construct baffles, floating walls and floors, HVAC Baffles, etc. This book is a known authority on these subject matters. A must read for home studio builders as well! Proving that a studio build is 80% planning and 20% construction. a small 1" hole in your build is equal to no wall at all. All sound needs is a tiny vulnerability and you might as well have not built anything at all.

Wow. This book is a brain melter. I want to learn about acoustics to properly build recording and mix rooms. This book is heavy on theory, math, practice, experience, science...it's a lot. I love it though. I feel like I could read this book for a decade and still not absorb all the info. A lot of it is not practical for my situation, but that's fine. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. A good starting place, but if you're just trying to build a better room, this book is not where I'd start, or stop. Still an amazing resource though.

This book provides a design to create and restore the innocent contagiously exciting experience of playing a perfect virgin vinyl disc for the first time. This book will teach you how to unlock and release all the lost data that is available.. It will combine all the presence of the original performance that slowly disappeared and was forgotten over time.

It's very useful book which written by simple language and being easy for understanding even for non-specialists in acoustic area. From my point of view it is truly handbook for every audio enthusiasts, especially for beginners.

As a semi-professional audio engineer, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd editions of this title by this author. A highly recommended read for anyone interested in audio production.

This book is ideal for the individual who has never had interest in the physics of sound! It goes from 101 all the way to a 600 level class! The scenarios covered in this book encompass almost every possible common shape of a room or facility except for odd shapes such as ovals and circles. The knowledge imparted in this book will help any one improve the sound of their space when implemented . This is a textbook so don't expect novel like story telling. Study this and you are on your way to being an acoustician!

Now, this book is something else. The fine detail of the knowledge in this entire piece is unreal for the money. I didn’t expect to know so much after reading this. So much info. Must read it a couple times.

Full of handy details and recommendations along with a comprehensive theory description

Es un libro increíble que resume muy bien la acústica. Pero debes tener bases sólida del tema porque usa terminología que para alguien ajeno podría costarle trabajo entender.

Muito bem escrito e com bom conteúdo. Mais que recomendado! Capítulos curtos e cheios de informações interessantes. Referência na área.

Me gusta como está redactado, porque es claro

The Master Handbook of Acoustics is a reference work which reads reasonably easy. That's a strong point, considering acoustics is not an easy subject to master. If you want to know more about how sounds works and how rooms can influence sound quality (spoiler alert: the impact is huge), this is a good place to start.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand acoustics inside out. This is an excellent book for the beginner as well as the advanced.
