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 whilst adding practical formulas and simulation methods for practising professionals. Benefitting from Beranek's lifetime experience as a leader in the field and co-author Tim Mellow's cutting-edge industry experience, ''Acoustics: Sound Fields and Transducers'' is a modern classic to keep close to hand in the lab, office and design studio. It builds on Beranek's 1954 Acoustics classic by incorporating recent developments, practical formulas and methods for effective simulation. It uniquely provides the detailed acoustic fundamentals, enabling better understanding of complex design parameters, measurement methods and data. It brings together topics currently scattered across a variety of books and sources into one valuable reference. It includes relevant case studies, real-world examples and solutions to bring the theory to life.
