125th Convention Wrap-up
As the 407 exhibits were dismantled and the 17,892 attendees began
returning home, a palpable upbeat vibe accompanied virtually everyone
involved with the 125th AES Convention held in the Moscone Center
October 2-5, 2008.
"All our Committee Chairs noted the professionalism and enthusiasm
evidenced by event participants and attendees alike," remarked
Convention Co-Chair John Strawn. "From an SRO audience for Opening Day
Ceremonies and Chris Stone's Keynote Address to packed houses for most
of our Broadcast, Platinum, Educational and Special Events (including
Geoff Emerick's 40th Anniversary Sgt. Pepper's presentation), the 125th
Convention will stand as a water mark against which future conventions
will be measured."

Call For Papers (Class D Audio Amplification)
The AES 37th International Conference Committee invites you to submit
technical papers for presentation at the conference in 2009 in Hillerød,
Denmark. Over the last ten years switched-mode power amplifiers, very
often called digital power amplifiers, have become the technology of
choice in all of the global audio industry. The high efficiency and
compact design inherent in digital power amplifier technology has
inspired many engineers to design new and interesting products in
existing and new market areas. Digital amplification technology covers
everything from the ever-expanding portable cell phone/media player
market in the milli-watt range to the most powerful public address
systems at thousands of watts.
This conference will present an overview of the current state-of-the-art
in a broad perspective and address many of the new scientific
disciplines involved in this still growing field. Digital power
amplification is in many ways a combination of mixing otherwise
complementary scientific fields such as power electronics, signal
processing, DSP, advanced analog design, EMC, and more. The objective
of the conference is to address this complex and challenging range
of disciplines.
