THE AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN HANDBOOK Sixth edition

Page 98: Figure 4.21. The cathode of D3 should connect to the emitter of Q4, not the negative supply rail
The diodes referred to in the caption should be D6, D7.

Page 183: Right column- Should be MPSA42, not MPSA4

Page 237: Left column- "Figure 9.7a" should read "Figure 9.8a"

Page 237: Right column- "Figure 9.18" should read "Figure 9.19"

Page 238: Left column- "Figure 9.7b" should read "Figure 9.8b"

Page 243: Right column- "Figures 6.7 and 6.8" should read "Figures 9.6 and 9.7"

Page 311: Figure 12.1. The caption refers to an EF output, but it should read "CFP output"

Page 352: Figure 13.28. The polarity of the three sets of opamp inputs is the wrong way round

Thanks to Samuel Groner and Michael Kiwanuka for alerting me to most of these errors.

SMALL SIGNAL AUDIO DESIGN

Chapter 1: Table 1.2, p10; Johnson noise voltage for 25,000 ohms should be -108.2 dBu, not -100.2 dBu.

Chapter 1: Equation 1.4, p12, the letter Z should be the number 2.

Chapter 3: Figure 3.33. There should be a 100R resistor in the emitter circuit of Q7 to give 6 mA

Chapter 4: p122, 5th paragraph: "For Figures 4.23 and 4.24" should be "For Figures 4.22 and 4.23",
and "Figure 4.25" should be " Figure 4.24"

Chapter 5: p137. Stephen Butterworth was essentially a physicist/engineer, though also "a first-rate applied mathematician".

Chapter 9: Figure 9.16e on page 233: B should be -R2/R1

Chapter 10: p260. Sub-title should read "The Baxandall One-Capacitor LF control"

Chapter 15: Figure 15.4a, , pins 1 and 2 of the XLR have been swopped in error. Pin 2 should be hot, Pin 1 ground.

Chapter 20: Figure 20.8, p535, R2 and R4 should be 1K3, not 4K3
Chapter 20: Figure 20.11, p539, R4 and R6 should be 1K3, not 4K3

THE DESIGN OF ACTIVE CROSSOVERS

Chapter 4: p112, there is a reference to "the very clever NTM crossover in Chapter 6". It is actually in Chapter 5.

Chapter 6: p129, at the end of the second whole paragraph, "accurately" is mis-spelled as "accutrately".
How that got through multiple layers of spell-checking we may never know...

Chapter 6: p135, Figure 6.9, the Linkwitz Riley filter for the mid path should be labelled "5.12 kHz" not "512 kHz".

Chapter 9: p257, R7 in Fig 9.5c should be R4.

Chapter 11: p306, first line of second para should read "Constant Directivity Horn Equalisation".
I'm sure you guessed that one.

Chapter 19: p535, Figure 19.1, caption should have the word "subtractive" deleted. It is not a subtractive crossover.
The two blocks labelled "second-order allpass" should be labelled "third-order allpass"

My apologies for these shortcomings.
Mea maxima culpa
