Report of the meeting of SC-05-05 (Working Group on Grounding and EMC Practices of the SC-05 Subcommittee on Interconnections) held in New York City, 2009-10-10.
The meeting was convened by chairman Bruce C. Olson.
The agenda was approved as submitted.
The report of the previous meeting, 2009-05, was amended to change the next meeting convention from 126 to 127, and then accepted.
Open Projects
AES48-R: Review of AES48-2005, AES standard on interconnections - Grounding and EMC practices - Shields of connectors in audio equipment containing active circuitry
The meeting proposed that this standard be reaffirmed in January 2010 unless a new proposal is received to modify it.
AES54-R: Review of: AES54-1-2008, Connection of cable shields within connectors attached to portable balanced audio cables AES54-2-2008, Shields of balanced audio wiring within fixed and portable passive connector panels, jack fields, and passive microphone splitters AES54-3-2008, Shields of balanced microphone-level outputs of active equipment other than microphones
Status: No action requested or required
Development Projects
AES-X125: Input filtering for electromagnetic compatibility
Project scope: To describe and explain the techniques that have been found to be practicable and effective for RF filtering.
Current goal: PWD, Goal date: 2010-02
B. Whitlock and J. Woodgate agreed to propose updated definitions shortly after their meeting later today.
AES-X152: Signal levels and impedances of analog audio interfaces
Project scope: To develop a standard for signal levels and circuit impedances of audio system components and for the specification of these quantities in product data sheets
Intent: Propose revisions to IEC for MT 61938, Target: 2009
Discussion: Because there is a proposal for maintenance of IEC 61938 initiated by a project in SC-04-04, J. Woodgate has proposed a revision for the WG to consider proposing to the IEC. The intent is to add an additional clause for Professional Audio to the interface sections for Microphone- and Line-level signals. A good discussion of this proposal ensued and resulted in an updated document that was posted to the SC-05-05 document site by M. Yonge on 2009-10-10. Comments need to be submitted immediately so that this proposal can be submitted to the IEC in a week or so.
Liaisons
There were no liaison issues.
New Projects
A new project is proposed for a report to define terms and definitions balanced audio interfaces. Awaiting PIR prepared by M. Yonge and B. Olson.
New business
There was no new business.
The next meeting will be scheduled in conjunction with the AES 128th Convention in London, UK, 2010-05.
