Description
Principles of physics are illustrated through application to hi-fidelity sound reproduction systems. Concepts are presented with demonstrations rather than mathematical analysis. Topics include waves and interference, resonant frequencies, sound quality and intensity, wow and flutter, electricity and magnetism, and harmonic analysis. Laboratory demonstrations include loudspeakers, sound amplifiers, and tuners.
