The Audio Engineering Society, now in its sixth decade, is the only professional society devoted exclusively to audio technology. Its membership of leading engineers, scientists and other authorities has increased dramatically throughout the world, greatly boosting the society's stature and that of its members in a truly symbiotic relationship. Membership information can be found here
AES Sections serve members in 47 concentrated geographic areas throughout the world. Sections in Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan, Mexico, South America, and the United States hold local meetings regularly for the dissemination of the most current audio information. Contact and meeting information for all AES Sections can be found here.
Technical standards are continually being developed under the auspices of the society. Many of them have since been accepted by international standards organizations as the model for their standards on the same material. This activity is under the direction of the AES Standards Committee.
At the AES Store you can purchase AES Special Publications Items, AES Preprints, and back issues of the AES Journal. The AES utilizes a Secure Transaction Server that provides an SSL encrypted, secure way to purchase things online using your credit card.
The Technical Council and its Technical Committees respond to the interests of the membership by providing technical information at an appropriate level via conferences, conventions, workshops, and publications. They work on developing tutorial information of practical use to the members and concentrate on tracking and reporting the very latest advances in technology and applications. This activity is under the direction of the AES Technical Council and its Committees.
Conventions are held annually in the U.S. and Europe. The sites chosen for these meetings are in, or close to high-density membership areas affording large groups of members the opportunity of attending. Each meeting has valuable educational opportunities, including a full program of technical papers, seminars and workshops covering current research and new concepts and applications. An integral part of each convention is a comprehensive exhibit of professional equipment. Some Convention and Conference Reports are now available.
The Audio Engineering Society Education Committee hosts the Education Fair at AES conventions and publishes the Directory of Educational Programs, a comprehensive international guide to educational programs and career opportunities in Audio.
The Audio Engineering Society publishes a variety of Anthologies, Conference Proceedings, Standards, Drafts, Convention Preprints, and other information documents. See AES Publications for catalog and ordering information.
Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, the official publication of the AES, is the only peer-reviewed journal devoted exclusively to audio technology.
The comprehensive WWW Audio Index contains links to other audio related WWW sites throughout the world and links to WWW search engines. Feel free to submit an URL to an audio resource not already included.
The AES Historical Committee is an international forum open to all who wish to investigate and learn about the achievements of those pioneers whose innovative ideas and inventions have contributed to audio's rich past. Dedicated to the preservation of over a century of audio history, the Committee is developing a broad-based history of audio engineering and the audio industry. You are welcome to contribute to our E-mail Reflector, where several interesting projects are now running. You can check their progress, and explore completed research of unusual interest, on our website.
The Audio Engineering Society recognizes with gratitude the financial support given by its Sustaining Member Organizations, which enables the work of the Society to be extended.
