Sound Reproduction—The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms, 3rd edition explains the physical and perceptual processes that are involved in sound reproduction and demonstrates how to use the processes to create high-quality listening experiences in stereo and multichannel formats.
Understanding the principles of sound production is necessary to achieve the goals of sound reproduction in spaces ranging from recording control rooms and home listening rooms to large cinemas. This revision brings new science-based perspectives on the performance of loudspeakers, room acoustics, measurements and equalization, all of which need to be appropriately used to ensure the accurate delivery of music and movie sound tracks from creators to listeners.

A note from Floyd Toole:
The purpose of this site is to provide supplemental information and different approaches to accessing the information in the book. The first topics relate to designing, constructing, equipping and calibrating stereo listening rooms and multichannel home theaters. In the future other topics will be addressed.
