    you probably already own these, but if you don't, start scouring used book stores for:
     
    Lou Burroughs (Electrovoice) "Microphones: Design and Application"
     
    Harry F. Olson (RCA) "Acoustical Engineering" (aka the blue book) and "Music, Physics, and Engineering"
    - the blue book is only available used I'm afraid, but well worth looking for - just don't pay $600 for it!
    - "Music, Physics, and Engineering" is not the scaled down distillation I was expecting, worth a read on it's on!
     
    John Eargle's "Microphone Handbook" was recently updated by Ray Rayburn (an authority in his own right!), look for:
    "Eargle's The Microphone Book: From Mono to Stereo to Surround - A Guide to Microphone Design and Application"
     
    Although I'd also recommend the original version, titled simply "Microphone Handbook"
     
    Just in case...

    Thanks Bill,
     I have a book by John Borwick, and had some text books that I borrowed and gave back but I don't have any of the books you listed.
     
     I need to get reading!

    Hi Bill, I was tempted to complain about the pricing on some of the books...
     
    I just found out what the book I have costs on Amazon:
     
    http://www.amazon.com/Microphones-Technology-Technique-John-Borwick/dp/0240512790/ref=sr_1_38?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1403229864&sr=1-38&keywords=microphone
     
    Yikes!

    Pro Audio is a small, an shrinking community... the cost of the books is sadly rising as a result.

    Great stuff guys. I loved the host's Flux-Capacitor T-shirt.
