Download or read book Audio Electronics written by John Linsley Hood and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audio Electronics provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of audio electronics. This book discusses the parallel development in the various transducers and interface devices used to generate and reproduce electrical signals. Organized into nine chapters, this book begins with an overview of the basic method of digitally encoding an analog signal that entails repetitively sampling the input signal at sufficiently brief intervals. This text then examines the major attraction of the FM broadcasting system to allow the transmission of a high quality stereo signal without significant degradation of audio quality. Other chapters consider the conventional practice to interpose a versatile pre-amplifier unit between the power amplifier and the external signal sources. This book discusses as well the requirements for voltage gain stages in both audio amplifiers and integrated-circuit operational amplifiers. The final chapter deals with the significance of the power supply unit. This book is a valuable resource for professional recording and audio engineers.

Download or read book Audio for Television written by John Watkinson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1997-04-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audio for Television outlinines all the relevant principles and practices. Newcomers to the field will find it an invaluable, up to date resource and experienced sound people will gain from the explanations of new technology. The rate of change in the technology of television sound has recently accelerated to such a degree that it is now a sufficiently expansive subject to warrant a book of its own. These rapid changes, from the introduction first of stereo, then multi-channel or surround sound, have made it difficult for those working in this field to keep up with the technology and even harder for those just setting out on a career in television sound. The book considers analog and digital audio as alternatives and stresses the advantages of both. Microphone and loudspeaker technology is also discussed in some detail and audio recording and routing and transmission are also covered.

Download or read book Secure Voice Processing Systems against Malicious Voice Attacks written by Kun Sun and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides readers with the basic understanding regarding the threats to the voice processing systems, the state-of-the-art defense methods as well as the current research results on securing voice processing systems.It also introduces three mechanisms to secure the voice processing systems against malicious voice attacks under different scenarios, by utilizing time-domain signal waves, frequency-domain spectrum features, and acoustic physical attributes. First, the authors uncover the modulated replay attack, which uses an inverse filter to compensate for the spectrum distortion caused by the replay attacks to bypass the existing spectrum-based defenses. The authors also provide an effective defense method that utilizes both the time-domain artifacts and frequency-domain distortion to detect the modulated replay attacks. Second, the book introduces a secure automatic speech recognition system for driverless car to defeat adversarial voice command attacks launched from car loudspeakers, smartphones, and passengers. Third, it provides an acoustic compensation system design to reduce the effects from the spectrum reduction attacks, by the audio spectrum compensation and acoustic propagation principle. Finally, the authors conclude with their research effort on defeating the malicious voice attacks and provide insights into more secure voice processing systems. This book is intended for security researchers, computer scientists, and electrical engineers who are interested in the research areas of biometrics, speech signal processing, IoT security, and audio security. Advanced-level students who are studying these topics will benefit from this book as well.

Download or read book The Sound Production Handbook written by Don Atkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ^The Sound Protection Handbook is designed to be a useful guide to current operational sound practices within the broadcast industry. Multi-skilling within the industry has meant that the role of the sound engineer is now much wider, with operators no longer specialising in any area, but expected to possess a broad range of skills. Basic sound theory is covered and presented in such a way as to provide enough theoretical information for the professional or student to enable them to perform the many sound roles required, whether on location or in the sudio. However, the emphasis of the book is an operatinal one, covering all aspects of sound operations within televition broadcasting. The book follows a framework similar to that of NVQs and can be used as a practical source of information for those aspiring to those qualifications. The Sound Production Handbook is a useful source of guidance and reference for any operators who are changing roles and broadening their experience within the industry and provides an insight to current requirements, not only from a technical point of view, but also from a practical perspective.
