The AES has published standards for numerous audio network transport and control protocols.
Broadcasting audio embraces several techniques to qualify, playout and transmit audio signals to the end-users, by using multiple distribution networks.

Our ability to hear is a crucial part of our lives and careers, but we all have difficulty hearing in some situations. Unfortunately, exposure to loud sounds (including music) can degrade our ability to hear and make those challenging situations even more so.
Today, high resolution is a well-established part of both professional and high quality consumer audio, and the answers to the “why” of sound, its technical reproduction, and its relation to auditory perception are better understood.
Consistent loudness should be a goal of audio engineers for digital content delivery.
Music production is changing. There have never been so many diverse avenues for creating and consuming music, both artistically and technologically. The world of recorded music has exploded to incorporate hi-res, streaming, spatial audio, binaural sound, interactive music, and object-based audio Our production tools and methods have evolved accordingly, sometimes driving new practices, and sometimes responding to innovative creative ideas.
