Books about electronics?

Twisted85 · 5th June 2008, 05:03 PM

Hi,

My knowledge about electronics is quite limited. I've been mostly building and designing speakers but I don't know much about amplifiers and things like that.

What I would like to know is how to measure amplifiers (power, distortion etc.), how to use oscilloscope (turning PC to a oscilloscope?) and other measurements related to audio equipment.

So I'm asking, can you recommend a book about audio electronics which is suitable for a beginner and features things like described above? I've bought few books about loudspeakers from audioXpress which I've found very useful for a hobbyist.

Is anyone familiar with this book?

Hello Twisted85, From what I have read and seen I would recommend getting "The Art of Electronics". It's not cheap, but it is very good.

Peace,

Dave
