The committee's work is concerned with the following areas of interest as applied to audio engineering: general acoustics, architectural acoustics including building acoustics and room acoustics (including measurement, design, and simulation), electroacoustic systems (including virtual reality, virtual acoustics, and signal processing), psychoacoustics and physiological acoustics, noise control, sound and vibration isolation.
The TC on Acoustics and Sound Reinforcement helps to maintain a Topic Website on Acoustics and Sound Reinforcement.
We've recently completed work looking into issues surrounding monitoring and regulation of sound exposure and noise pollution due to outdoor events.
The final report can be accessed here: http://www.aes.org/technical/documents/AESTD1007_1_20_05.pdf
The contributors to the group were:
* Chris Beale (SPLtrack, UK)
* Durand Begault (Charles M. Salter Associates, USA)
* Jon Burton (University of Derby, UK)
* Etienne Corteel (L-Acoustics, France)
* Christian Frick (Rocket Science, Switzerland)
* Jim Griffiths (Vanguardia, UK)
* Marcel Kok (dBcontrol, Netherlands)
* Michael Lawrence (Rational Acoustics, USA)
* Bob McCarthy (Meyer Sound, USA)
* Johannes Mulder (Australian National University, Australia)
* Kees Neervoort (Event Acoustics, Netherlands)
* Elena Shabalina (d&b audiotechnik, Germany)
* Andy Wardle (University of the Highlands & Islands, UK)
The aim of this group was to develop a set of recommendations outlining what needs to be done to address the issue of sound exposure and noise pollution due to outdoor events, with an emphasis on practicality and preservation of a good audience experience.
