DESCRIPTION:
In 1965 he joined the National Research Council of Canada where he reached the position of Senior Research Officer in the Acoustics and Signal Processing Group. He has been awarded Lifetime Achievement awards by CEDIA and ALMA (Association of Loudspeaker Manufacturing & Acoustics International). About the AuthorFloyd E. He has recently written a book: "Sound Reproduction: the acoustics and psychoacoustics of loudspeakers and rooms." (Focal Press, 2008). In this position he worked with all Harman International companies and directed the Harman Research and Dev
Parts 2 and 3 are an in-depth consideration of acoustics and psychoacoustics.. This comprehensive work covers the whole sound reproduction chain from multi-channel audio configurations and the loudspeaker/room system to acoustics and psychoacoustics and the evaluation process. Floyd Toole, a leading expert in the field of sound reproduction, explains how to design the best possible listening experience for recording control rooms and home entertainment systems. Part 1 shows the reader how to create the best listening experience, offering practical approaches to the sound reproduction chain
He has been awarded Lifetime Achievement awards by CEDIA and ALMA (Association of Loudspeaker Manufacturing & Acoustics International). In 1991 he joined Harman International Industries Inc. Toole studied electrical engineering at the University of New Brunswick and at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of London where he received a Ph.D. For his achievements he has been recognized with both the AES Silver Medal (1996) and Gold Medal (
Non scientists need not apply bonedoc You need to be realistic if you purchase this book. The author is a superb scientist and recognized authority in the field of acoustic engineering. If you have a strong background in the "hard sciences" i.e. math, physics, chemistry then you'll get a lot out. A standard reference - the 1st book to purchase on audio Jeff Switzer This book is a standard reference that should be in everyone's library who is interested in home audio and home theaterIn an easy to read format the book provides the results of decades of research performed by Dr. Toole (with support from other excellent st. Speaker Manufacturers should heed his advice In short, I keep re-reading this book - probably the last collection by Floyd Toole. I wish most speaker manufacturers would heed his advice and give the consumer the data they need to make meaningful decisions. As an engineer (retired) but from another disc
