A revised edition of the definitive guide to audio terminology.

Trade Review

"It is rare to find a reference book that you do not want to stop reading, but The Audio Dictionary fits that description. . . . Each definition, from absolute pitch to zero reference, is actually a mini—article with concise yet thorough explanations that are easy for nonspecialists to understand."

* Music Educators Journal *

"A handy little book that serious audio engineers should have around."

* Pro Audio Review *
