AES 130th European Convention Set for London May 13-16

(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LONDON, April 26 -- The Audio Engineering Society issued the following news release: Set for May 13-16 at the Novotel London West Convention Centre, the 130th AES Convention (http://www.aes.org/) will provide international attendees with an exemplary four-day crash course in audio technology, production techniques and meaningful product developments. Exhibits will be held May 14-16. Convention Chair Peter Mapp reports that his Committee has developed a timely program of Papers Sessions, Workshops, Tutorials, Tech Tours, and Education Events, designed as invaluable assets for meeting the challenges of our rapidly evolving industry. "We anticipate an enthusiastic turnout for this Convention, and are pleased that ARPS and MPG will co-sponsor a number of special events," Mapp said. "To make the Convention more cohesive andeasierto navigate we have placed the Exhibits next to the Technical Program sessions," said AES Executive Director Roger Furness. The exhibits will be smaller this year, partly due to the economic situation, but we are pleased to welcome a number of our traditional exhibitors including Neutrik, Fraunhofer, Schoeps, Nagra Kudelski, Microtech Gefell, Focusrite and RTW, and some new ones including KMR Audio. Technical Program Papers Chair, Josh Reiss has organized an outstanding program of over 140 papers in 13 lecture sessions and 8 poster sessions (http://www.aes.org/events/130/papers/). Topics to be covered include: Speech and Hearing, Loudspeakers, Multichannel and Spatial Sound Production & Broadcast, Live and Interactive Sound, Audio Equipment, Audio Content Management, Room Acoustics, Binaural Sound, Audio Signal Processing & Analysis, Source Enhancement, and Subjective Evaluation. Workshops and Tutorials Chair, Natanya Ford has coordinated a far-ranging program devoted to such topics as: Panning For Multichannel Loudspeaker Systems (http://www.aes.org/events/130/workshops/?

AES London 2011 Heyser Lecture by MP3/MPEG Pioneer Karlheinz ...

LONDON: The 130th AES Convention will be highlighted by a Richard C. Heyser Lecture Series presentation by Karlheinz Brandenburg. A driving force behind such innovative digital audio technology as mp3 and MPEG audio standards, Mr. Brandenburg’s lecture is entitled, “How to Provide High Quality Audio Everywhere: The mp3 Story And More…” The presentation will be held Saturday, May 14, 18:30 - 20:00, at the Novotel London West Convention Center.

Once upon a time professional audio was challenged by the need to transmit high quality audio over phone lines. Psychoacoustics experts and signal processing researchers eventually solved the equation. mp3 and other audio Codec’s were developed to enable seamless transport of audio over thin lines. However, the mp3 story did not end there. The Internet was transforming from a text-based medium into a major carrier for sound of all kinds, including music. This issue introduced new dangers for audio quality. And, it shook up the music industry by dramatically changing business models for music sales.

Today’s challenges are different: we have a multitude of (legal) sources of music, and many of us have access to Terabytes of music. How do we find our way through this abundance of content? How do we find the gems among millions of options? Mr. Brandenburg’s talk will introduce current work on MIR (Music Information Retrieval); audio reproduction and, discuss the psychoacoustic research required to achieve the dream of perfectly reconstructed sound.

The 130st Audio Engineering Convention will be held at the Novotel London West Convention Center, May 13-16, 2011.
