AES Technical Committee
Microphones and Applications
Chair: Eddy Bogh Brixen (Send E-mail) Vice Chair: David Josephson (Send E-mail)
Over the past half century, developments in electronics have removed nearly every electrical limitation in audio performance. However, the transducers at the ends of the signal chain remain the main source of nonlinearity in reproduced sound. This committee serves as a focal point for information on new theories and techniques in microphone transducer technology and application.
Areas of Concentration
- Design Theory
- Promoting Awareness of Emerging Technologies
- Analog, Power and Digital Interface Methods
- Objective Measurement Techniques
- Subjective Measurement Techniques
- Psychoacoustic Interpretation of Performance
- Specifications Correlated with Perception
Recent/Planned Activities
- Microphone Selection and Placement for Surround Sound
Detailed Microphone Specifications
Despite efforts of the IEC and other standards bodies, microphone manufacturers have not adopted a standard method for measuring microphone performance and presenting these specifications to their customers. In conjunction with AES Standards Committee Working Group SC-04-04 on Microphone Characterization, we are attempting to develop and refine the interface between microphone maker and (potential) user, so that the user can have a clearer idea of the microphone performance characteristics that the maker intends.
