Recensione:

"When considered as a reference source, the book is nicely conceived. Each chapter begins with topic headings in outline format, making it easy to scan a chapter to see if what you're seeking can be found there. There's a good index and a useful glossary, about half of which is acronyms.. would make an excellent companion to a course in audio measurements where practical applications could be covered by lecture and demonstration in a classroom and lab."--Useful Audio Stuff Blog
