Current development projects
AES42-R Review of AES42-2001, AES standard for acoustics -- Digital interface for microphones
S. Harris, chair of the SC-04-04-D task group, reported on the completion of the new standard AES42, and on the meeting of the group which had taken place the day before. His report on this SC-04-04-D meeting has been posted on its e-mail reflector. AES42 progressed through the call for comment period, had some editorial changes made and has been released as a standard. There are some unresolved issues that could produce amendments, particularly the continuing issue of connector choice and a safe digital phantom power (DPP).

Several aspects of the survey design were considered including the formulation of questions and filtering respondents' answers to qualify the respondents. R. Streicher and Josephson agreed to contact some of their colleagues to assist in the survey design.AES-X63 Time-Domain Response of Microphones
J. Green reported no progress on AES-X63.
