Apple Discount for U.S. and Canadian AES Members
Because so many audio professionals use Apple products in their everyday work, the AES has launched a pilot initiative in conjunction with the Apple Association Member Purchase Program. AES President Jim Anderson reports that an agreement has been reached to provide U.S. and Canadian AES members with special savings on the latest Apple products and accessories. “We are exploring the possibility of expanding the program to other territories as well,” Anderson said. AES U.S. and Canadian Members visiting the Apple Store link in the AES Member Portal will find a number of exclusive options including:
“The AES is continually seeking new ways to benefit our members,” Anderson said. “When Apple approached us with an opportunity to provide special pricing on software and hardware from one of the most ubiquitous tool groups at use in contemporary audio production/post-production we immediately recognized a valuable added service.” If you have a friend who has been delaying becoming an AES member you can now encourage them to join the AES because sometimes the discount on a single computer is greater than the cost of an AES membership!

Wave Field Synthesis Publication
In December 1988, Delft University professor Guus Berkhout published his article in the AES Journal in which he proposed the concept of Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) as a format for spatial sound reproduction without ‘sweet spot’ limitations. Now, more than twenty years later, Diemer de Vries who was involved in the development and application of the concept from the very beginning, presents a 93-page monograph on the theme. The principles of WFS are explained once again, with a digestible summary of the underlying mathematics. An explanation is also given of how the necessary steps, from theory (where things are infinitely large or small, having ideal properties) to real-world application, have successfully been made by making ample use of the properties of the human hearing mechanism.
