Synopsis
High Performance Loudspeakers, Sixth Edition is a fully revised and updated version of the highly successful guide to the design and specifications of professional quality loudspeakers, by one of the worlds most pre-eminent authorities on the subject. Written in the same format as the 5 th edition of 'High Performance Loudspeakers', each chapter has been substantially revised reflecting the pace of technological change in speaker design. These revisions take the form of new research and accompanying illustrations. By clearly and practically analysing these developments the author has produced an up to the minute successor to his highly successful series, which is now referred to as the 'speaker designers bible' in the trade.

Présentation de l'éditeur
High Performance Loudspeakers, Sixth Edition is a fully revised andupdated version of the highly successful guide to the design andspecifications of high quality loudspeakers and loudspeakersystems. Each chapter has been substantially revised reflecting themany changes in the technology of loudspeakers. These revisionstake the form of much new research and accompanying illustrations,with a radically new theoretical section, allied to in–depthcoverage of the most important advances in the art of loudspeakerdesign. By clearly and practically analysing these manydevelopments the authors have produced an authoritative loudspeakerdesigner′s bible.
Key features of the Sixth Edition include:
- Radically new chapter on acoustic theory, developments in hometheatre and surround systems, in speaker system design. Alsocrossover networks with new digital synthesis methods, andextensive reporting on CAD software
- New measurement systems and techniques are complemented byrecent psychoacoustic research data.
- Expanded material on sub–sat design, 2pi and boundary speakerdesign, further work on optimum low frequency synthesis forimproved group delay.
- New materials technology including ceramic and diamonddiaphragms, plus first publication of the theory of the BMR, afascinating hybrid driver technology employing a synthesis ofbending wave and pistonic action and which can approach thedirectivity of a point source.
- Glossary; a valuable view of electroacoustic terms anddefinitions to guide all readers.
Acknowledged industry–wide as the definitive work on speakerdesign and analysis, this book is essential reading for audioengineers, speaker designers, equipment designers and students ofacoustic engineering, electronics and electro–acoustics. It willalso prove invaluable to students of electronics, broadcasting andrecording techniques, and be of interest to amateur loudspeakerbuilders, authors and journalists in audio.
Revue de presse
"Those readers interested in understanding the many technical aspects of high–performance loudspeaker design would thoroughly enjoy this book." ( IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, November/December 2006)
