The Audio Engineering Society continues its AES Equity Learning Series program with the upcoming, “Immersive and Inclusive – A Discussion of Representation in Immersive Audio,” taking place online on Saturday, April 29 from 2:00pm – 3:30pm EDT (USA). Part of the AES’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiative, this educational series helps to promote and educate […]
New York, NY, July 8, 2022 — The Audio Product Education Institute (APEI), an initiative of the Audio Engineering Society (AES), presents a new webinar in its Voice and DSP education pillar, “Demystifying Beamformers,” addressing microphone beamforming in theory and practice and the latest optimizations for voice recognition platforms. The unique knowledge-sharing online session, featuring […]
The Audio Engineering Society has announced the adoption and publication of AES75-2022, “AES standard for acoustics – Measuring loudspeaker maximum linear sound levels using noise.” The new standard addresses the need for a practical and cohesive procedure for the prediction of loudspeaker performance. AES75 is the result of extensive work by the AES Standards Committee’s SC-04-03-A […]
Although you are reading this in February 2019, it was written in December of 2018 due to the weird schedules needed for online publishing. December of 2018 was a personally momentous month because it represented a major milestone — my 50th year as a member of the Audio Engineering Society and the professional audio community […]
The Audio Engineering Society has announced that Dr. Richard C. Cabot will be assuming the duties of Standards Manager. A former president of the AES, Dr. Cabot has been involved with AES Standards since its early years, having chaired the development of the AES17 standard on digital audio measurement. He was one of the founders […]
DiGiGrid has expanded its line of audio interfaces with DiGiGrid IOC, a control room I/O for SoundGrid systems. The DiGiGrid IOC audio interface offers a range of connectivity options, including two mic/line inputs with broadcast/studio-grade preamps, eight line inputs/outputs, 16 AES and ADAT inputs/outputs and two headphone outputs. With DiGiGrid IOC and a dedicated SoundGrid […]
Mackie just debuted its new DL32R 32-Channel Wireless Digital Mixer with iPad Control. The Mackie DL32R features a mix of professional I/O in an compact 3U rackmount design. Each of the 32 inputs (24 XLR, 8 XLR/TRS combo) feature Mackie’s all-new Onyx+ recallable mic preamps, with remote control over preamp gain and phantom power. Fully-assignable […]
We know what you’re thinking: What’s AES67? AES67, a standard for audio over IP, promises interoperability between previously competing audio-over-IP systems and could solve network interoperation between systems. AES67 is a “Switzerland” of standards so the different IP based audio networking products currently fighting it out in the market, such as Dante, Livewire, Q-LAN and […]
The upside of adding Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi to audio, video and lighting gear is both the convenience and scalability of managing technology, but the more IP-addressable the A/V/L industry becomes, the more managing the vast amount of unique data becomes problematic for the end users. Churches are no different than many other venues when it […]
The 135th AES Show last week in New York featured an historical museum component, including world’s first audio amplifiers. One, the Western Electric mechanical amplifier (pictured here), is the first known device for amplifying audio signals. Louis Manno, director of the Audio History Library, was excited to display these and other items from the library’s […]
At this year’s Audio Engineering Society convention, Neumann announced its newest studio microphone: the TLM 107 large diaphragm microphone. The TLM 107 features what Neumann calls a “surprisingly fresh design and a novel operating concept.” All of the microphone switch functions are controlled through a navigation switch. The contemporary, intuitive operating concept includes an illuminated […]
This column was reprinted with permission from InfoComm and originally appeared here. Until the 1980s, cinemas were an acoustical hodge-podge, with dimensions of varying sizes and speakers arrayed in ways that often blasted sound at those in front and challenged those in the rear to hear. Then, in 1977, came Star Wars, George Lucas’ paean to the sci-fi serials of the1930s and 1940s. Its […]
Today Revolabs announced a new addition to the company’s Executive HD product family in the form of the MaxSecure wireless microphone system, adding capability for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). With the addition of the Executive HD MaxSecure products, Revolabs supports an encryption standard […]
