    Should be Called a Sound Engineer Reference at Best, Guidance Is Non-Existent
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2018*

I've read about 1/4 of the book and I skipped around to see what the book has to offer. There are 50 pages that solely involve conversion between different measurement types and definition of words. Page 115 to page 165 contain these definitions and conversions. (Total length 173 pages)Page 115 is the last page in the book to have actual writing and expansion of ideas. Between pages 1 to 115, roughly a dozen of them are charts, again conversion related. This leaves about 100 pages of actual writing and examples. About 1/4 of those pages are literally beginner topics, leaving me with about 75 pages worth reading, save your money!Section 3 is essentially a beginners guide to electrical engineering properties (like KVL, KCL, etc), but I prefer the Art of Electronics for these topics. The end of section 3 is the charts mentioned above.Section 2 is mainly about hearing function and protection, along with hearing limits. Very little about the topics discussed in sections 2 or 3 feel appropriate for the book's title and supposed main topic.Section 1 is the only part of the book really worth reading if you aren't a beginner in EE or ET. I think this book could have been something worthwhile had the author put in their full effort and avoided filling pages with charts.There is a lack of any real reference for audio performance measurements, especially those that use signal cables to measurement device, not microphones + pre-amps like this author does. Unless you are setting up large acoustic spaces, using a microphone to measure performance leaves a lot to be desired in the accuracy realm.If you are hoping to learn about how to take THD, IMD, SNR, etc. of signals, this isn't the book you are looking for, despite the title sounding so. In my opinion, it's far from worth the cost of entry. Keep your money and save up to get D. Self's Small Signal Audio Design, covers way more topics and contains loads of information relevant to audio performance measurements and testing. The Art of Digital Audio is also another good one.This book feels like it is trying to fill a gap in the electrical and audio related book with regard to performance measurements and methodology. However, it fails to fill that gap, or any gap really.I have a background in Electrical Engineering at NCSU and I run my own website where I regularly test audio related HW. I felt this book was a big let down and a waste of cash.

    A a rehash of information that is covered in another book
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2009*

I will qualify that I haven't read the book yet. Just glancing through it after it arrived was disappointing. The book has three sections. Section one is "Test and Measurement" by Pat Brown, and is 48 pages long. It looks like a good overview of testing, much like he offers in the SynAudCon classes.Section two is "What's the Ear for? How to protect it". It is 25 pages long and while it looks valid, wasn't what I expected in this title. Section three is Fundamentals and Units of Measurement. It is about 100 pages of charts covering everything form the SI system (wow I didn't know octillion is the name of a number, that makes my life richer), to some basic one paragraph topics on basic physics, some good formulas and charts for audio usage, on to the greek alphabet, ISO standard numbers, abbreviations for 30 pages (XLPE is cross linked polyethelene), to some geometry reveiw. It is factual filler.It appears the content is good, but basic. It was not an in depth book on A Sound Engineers Guide to Audio test and Measurement in my opinion. There are other books that cover this better. In fact this book appears to be three chapters out of Handbook for Sound Engineers. I didn't look for updates. It looks nearly identical.My rating is low because this is a rehash of a portion another book and the content does not follow the title very well.

2/3 des buchinhaltes sind lediglich tabellen und anderer "füllstoff"der rest ist nicht schlecht, aber für den im titel genannten sound engineerauch eher "basics" und nur grob angerissene theorie. keine praktischeumsetzung, keine details. insgesamt also recht dünn.
