ycainjo Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi all I would like to go further in inderstanding microphones and their technology to improve use and placement in recording. Do you have books to advise me, other than Jay's, Patrushkha's, Ric Vier's books ? Yann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombackus Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 There is the book by John Eargle - "The Microphone Handbook". Its a little bit older since I got my copy back in the 80's. Still lots of good info. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourtelot Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 John Eargle's The Microphone Book (Focal Press) is regarded by some as the definitive work on microphones. You won't find a lot of pages devoted to location sound for picture but it is an in-depth work. D. Tom, beat me to it by three seconds. :):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombackus Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Also another book on microphones, this one by Lou Burroughs - "Microphones: Design and Application". This one published in 1974 by Sagamore Publishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 A bought John Eargle's "The Microphone Handbook" (and the Recording Studio Handbook.. I forget the author) about a hundred years ago (or so it seems) when I had a 4-track project studio in my garage. Neither is a 'recipe cook book' but loaded with technical info, which anyone in the pro audio biz should learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrimic Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Not really a book, but you’ll find interesting tips on DPA’s microphone university: https://www.dpamicrophones.com/mic-university Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borjam Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 John Eargle's book was updated in 2011. https://www.routledge.com/Eargles-The-Microphone-Book-From-Mono-to-Stereo-to-Surround---A-Guide/Rayburn/p/book/9780240820750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
