Planning for the 123rd Audio Engineering Society Convention is well
under way, with the collaboration of a stellar Committee headed once
again by Chair Jim Anderson. It is scheduled for October 5-8, 2007 in
New York City's Javits Center. We have been working hard to obtain
special rates on hotel rooms and you can now book them on
the AES website.
The Full Program of the convention will be published on the website
before the end of July. In the meantime we have added a
list of all
the exhibitors that have registered to date.
31st Conference in London Starts Monday!
New Directions in High Resolution Audio
June 25-27, 2007
Queen Mary, University of London - London, UK
This Conference is concerned with the promotion and delivery of high
resolution audio, by maintaining quality throughout the recording and
playback chain with current and future technologies. It reflects the
tremendous recent growth of high resolution audio techniques and
products intended for use throughout the audio recording and playback
chain. However, issues remain on how to avoid bottlenecks where quality
is compromised, and how to maintain and encourage high resolution audio
in an ever-changing marketplace. These concerns are of interest to the
audio engineering, recording and production industries, as well as to
education and academia.
We aim to provide a place for the exchange of news, issues and results,
by bringing together researchers, developers, educators, students and
professional users, working in fields that contribute to high resolution
audio, to present original theoretical or practical work. It also serves
as a discussion forum, provides introductory and in-depth information in
specific domains, and showcases current products.
On-line registration and a full Preliminary Program Guide are
now available.
AES 13th Regional Convention, Tokyo
Divergences of Audio Technology in Our Life
July 19-21, 2007
Science Museum, Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan
The AES Japan Section will hold the AES Tokyo Convention 2007 (AES 13th
Regional Convention, Tokyo) from July 19th to 21st, 2007, at Science
Museum in Tokyo, Japan.
The theme of this convention is "Divergences of Audio Technology in Our
Life". Today the audio technology that has developed around music and
the film industry is spreading to the entertainment industry, various
mobile devices, digital broadcasting, internet delivery and the game
industry. We expect you to discuss the future directions of this audio
technology. We are planning the exhibition, the product seminars, the
student program, the papers session, and the workshops and furthermore
the exchange program among industry and academic are newly set. The
convention program and the advance registration form are
both online.
1st Latin American Conference
Multi-Channel Audio
August 19-21, 2007
Panamericano Hotel & Resort - Buenos Aires, Argentina
These three days in Buenos Aires are a must-go event for every person
related to the fascinating Pro Audio world. The main topic,
Multi-Channel Audio, takes into consideration the tremendous growth of
the surround sound in the industry of Entertainment, as much as in
everyday life.
This Conference aims to gather all professionals and students that have
direct or indirect contact with the various fields of Multi-Channel
Audio. The event's main goal is to facilitate the interchange of
opinions and experiences among the participants, adding up to the
presence (for the very first time in Latin America) of numerous Audio
personalities with the highest level of recognition throughout the
world. Registration and the Technical Program are
now available.
32nd AES International Conference
DSP for Loudspeakers
September 21-23, 2007
Pharmakon - Hillerød, Denmark
Digital signal processing (DSP) offers loudspeaker system designers a
very powerful set of tools. It may be as simple as a delay line, which
hardly needs DSP anyway. Or it may be a precise and detailed filtering
with just the desired magnitude and phase characteristics. Such
filtering may be used to construct a single very accurate loudspeaker,
or used for room correction, or it may be used to create beam-steering
arrays or even wavefield synthesis. In addition to filtering, digital
signal processing may be used for distortion compensation, or for
enhancing the subjective performance by means of nonlinear processing.
On the analysis side, DSP can be used to monitor in real time the state
of the loudspeaker and model important driver parameters such as voice
coil temperature. Through the last couple of decades, AES members have
been in the forefront of this research.
Meanwhile, the maturity and price/performance ratio of essential system
components such as processors, software development tools, AD/DA
converters, and power amplifiers have reached a point where it makes
commercial sense for a large part of the audio industry to apply
loudspeaker-specific DSP in their products. Indeed, there are already
classes of products completely depending on it.
This international conference aims to present the state of the art
within the rich and still emerging field of loudspeaker-specific DSP and
create an inspiring and synergetic meeting between professionals in the
fields of electroacoustics, psychoacoustics, room acoustics, transducer
physics, and DSP. Registration and the Preliminary Program are
available online.
