    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Sound Knowledge: The Universal Guide to Audio provides readers with in-depth understanding of all aspects of sound creation and control, from fundamental studio principles to advanced acoustic techniques.


    Beginning with the science of sound and building through microphone techniques, electronics, acoustics, and digital audio processing, each chapter provides clear explanations supported by diagrams and real-world applications. Learn professional podcasting setups, understand the intricacies of loudspeaker design, master studio recording techniques, and troubleshoot common audio problems. The book covers both analogue and digital domains, exploring everything from vintage recording methods to cutting-edge networked audio systems. Special attention is given to location recording challenges, studio workflows, and the art of mixing. With dedicated sections on acoustics, outboard processing, and practical problem-solving, this text serves as both a classroom resource and a professional reference. Sound Knowledge is designed to sit alongside practical studio time, as an aid and guide in sound based educational courses, yet it also stands alone as a primer for new entrants to prepare to compete for further educational courses or the precious few industry apprenticeships.


    Sound Knowledge is the perfect introductory resource for undergraduate audio engineering students, content creators, broadcast professionals, and home studio enthusiasts looking to elevate their technical knowledge and production capabilities.


    There is a companion website to the book where readers can find further support. Test your knowledge and grow links to other sound professionals at SoundKnowledge.org.
