The great books of Harry F. Olson


Anyone wishing to go deeper into how microphones are designed should search for the excellent books of Harry F. Olson.


Electrical analogies of acoustical and mechanical systems throughout. So that patent reading on the classic microphones can be better understood.


His classic Elements of Acoustical Engineering was the basis of the BBC Engineering Training Series, Microphones book as it is stated in its first pages.


Other examples of amazing books by Olson:


Dynamical Analogies.


Music, Physics and Enginerring,


Acoustical Engineering which must be the 3rd edition of the previously mentioned book.


And many more.


It is also interesting to see the parent list of Olson on Wikipedia. For example there is one on improving the sensitivity of ribbon microphones.
