Designing Audio Circuits and Systems
Routledge • ISBN 978-1-032-01089-2
Designing Audio Circuits and Systems is now available for pre-order at Amazon. It will be published by Routledge/Focal
Press in May 2024. The 700-page book covers just about everything in audio circuit and system design with the exception of audio
power amplifiers, which are covered in the second edition of Designing Audio Power Amplifiers. The broad subject of audio
design is covered in a way that is intended to be readable and valuable to professionals, enthusiasts and educators alike. In order
to cover audio design with depth and breadth, many foundational electrical engineering subjects are covered as well, making the
book especially effective in electrical engineering education. These include circuit design, semiconductors, low-noise design,
negative feedback, network theory, active filters, switch-mode power supplies, passive components and others. Coverage of these
topics makes the book a valuable electrical engineering resource that goes well beyond the subject of professional and consumer audio.
I have tried to make the book broad and deep, with 30 chapters covering preamps of many types, including microphone preamps for
dynamic, condenser, active ribbon, electret and MEMS microphones, as well as line-level preamplifiers for audiophile and professional
applications. Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and audiophile phono preamp designs are discussed. Headphone amplifiers and crossfeed
circuits are described. Live-sound, broadcast and studio consoles are also covered. Pro audio functions like equalizers, compressors,
voltage-controlled amplifiers, active crossovers and self-powered loudspeakers are covered in depth. Take a quick tour of the book by

professional with years of experience, I think you will enjoy the read.
