Acoustic Communication is aimed at all scientific disciplines that strive to achieve a practical understanding of the numerous interdisciplinary issues, connections, and prerequisites of communication through language and music. Therefore, signal and system theory, physics, electroacoustics, phonetics, music acoustics, psychoacoustics, and auditory theory are presented with equal emphasis. An appendix with symbols, units, and constants, an extensive bibliography with 1,123 citations, as well as a CD with 31 audio examples make this textbook an indispensable standard work.
