Really an amazing collection. Yes, it is technical---but I think the book can satisfy a varied number of people, on a lot of levels. Whether to understand how microphones work, or work better---to know how better to use microphones--or just interested in microphone history, this book is a rare find.
Quality learning Material

This book goes indepth with the mathamatics and schematis of microphones. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to know more. I found the book to be a little dry and a little over my head in terms of some of the math, but I gained usefull knowledge on mechanics and abstract principals. Read it.
