NEW! Learn the most important audio basics in a convenient, online course from NSCA University™
NSCA's popular book, Technical Fundamentals of Audio, is now available in a convenient, entry-level training course online. Topics include: decibels, Ohm's law, series and parallel circuits as voltage and current dividers, reactive circuits as frequency dividers, constant-voltage power distribution, subjective loudness and temporal masking, the physics of sound, sound distribution in space, and sound distribution over time.
"I found this course to be a great online experience. It was solid in its teaching/review of the basics that so many people have forgotten or never learned. At times, it was very challenging (trying to remember the math from 2 decades ago...) and even a bit entertaining. I would recommend it to anyone that really wants to get serious about audio; designers for certain."
— Jason Jacquemain, C.L. Pugh
