About the full-text PDF
A full-text PDF is held in the private LNGR research archive. The book remains under copyright and we have no authorization for public redistribution, so the PDF is not available for download from this website. Page numbers refer to the printed book, not the PDF file's page index.
Research context
This edition dates from 2005. Fundamental electroacoustics remains useful, but newer drivers, DSP architectures and measurement methods should be checked against current research and specifications. A reference does not replace measurements of a real build.
