5.0 out of 5 stars Audio Design Bible, September 12, 2000
By 
DAVID D BIE (Burnsville, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Electroacoustics and Audio Amplifier Design (Paperback)
Most books on loudspeaker design just don't provide the design equations to support the qualitative descriptions, but this book, an outgrowth of a college course on audio engineering, has the supporting math needed to design audio products. Years of teaching experience are evident from the qualitative descriptions which are factual, not wordy. Work with this book, chart out the equations, and you will well on you way to a solid educational foundation required to competently design loudspeaker components, speaker boxes, crossovers, microphones and amplifiers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Audio Engineering Resource, November 5, 2001
By 
Before discovering "Introduction of Electroacoustics and Audio Amplifier Design" by Dr. Leach, my knowledge of speaker design was limited to a handful of formulas and some tabulated data. I have found this text to be the most important "missing link" among my resources for designing speakers.

This text develops models for the acoustic, mechanical, and electrical elements that are all present in electroacoustic devices, such as speakers, microphones, and amplifiers. It is presented in a very methodical and thorough manner, complete with clear qualitative discussion and the mathematics to go with it. The math used in the text involves logarithms, complex numbers, and some calculus.

This book has enabled me to effectively design speaker enclosures, vents, and crossovers. It is very well written, and has proven to be very useful. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand electroacoustic systems design in more depth. It would also be an excellent complement to any audio engineer's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, buy it elsewhere, June 1, 2011
I borrowed this book from an EE friend and immediately became enthralled by the subject. This book is amazingly difficult to find, so I suggest going straight to the publisher Kendall Hall and buying it from there. The latest edition is currently running at $160 on amazon and $85 at Kendall hall [...]
