This article is from the Audio Professional FAQ, by with numerous contributions by Gabe M. Wiener others.

13.5 - Acoustics

* Leo Beranek, "Acoustics," New York, American Institue of Physics, 1986
[The bible, but heavily mathematical, very thick and obtuse, a good book
despite the Lincoln Hall disaster.]

* F. Alton Everest, "The Master Handbook of Acoustics," Tab Books 1989
[A good entry level text on acoustics, studio and listening room design,
not heavily mathematical].

* Arthur H. Benade, "Fundamentals of Musical Acoustics," New York, Dover
Publications, 1990
[A thorough book, more on the acoustics of PRODUCING music rather than
REPRODUCING it.]

* Any good physics text book is useful for keeping the bunk at bay.
