Electroacoustics, as a physical phenomenon, is a part of modern civilization and cultural factor. Acoustic field. Subjective attributes of sound by reception of speech and music. Distortions of sound. Room acoustics. Electromechanical conversion. Dynamic analogy, physical aspects, discrepancies and paradoxes in the formulation of dynamical processes. . Microphones. Emission of sound. Loudspeakers and the acoustic design. . Laboratory and practical works: measurements and evaluation of acoustic characteristics of microphones, loudspeakers, acoustic systems and rooms. . |
