Abstract
FROM the physics point of view, this text is admirable. It covers most of the important applications of acoustics in the field of electrical communication, amongst which may be mentioned the measurement of performance of loudspeakers and microphones, the recording and reproduction of sound in its varied forms, acoustic perspective and the technical acoustics of enclosures. The last chapter appropriately deals with the measurement of fidelity of speech in communication systems, but the more difficult problem of measuring the fidelity in musical reproduction is not discussed.
