Technical Council & Committees

The Technical Council has the intention of defining and consolidating the technical leadership of the Society for the benefit of the membership

What is the Technical Council?

The technical council and its first technical committees were founded by the Audio engineering Society in 1979, and standing rules covering their activities were established in 1986, with the intention of defining and consolidating the technical leadership of the Society for the benefit of the membership.

The Technical Council consists of the Officers of the Technical Council, the Chairs of the Technical Committees, the Editor of the Journal, and as ex-officio members without vote, the other Officers of the Society.

Perceptual Audio Coders: What to Listen For CD

In January of 2002, The Audio Engineering Society’s Technical Council launched a tutorial project on CD-ROM, “Perceptual Audio Coders: What to Listen For.” Developed by the Technical Committee on Coding of Audio Signals, and produced by Dr. Markus Erne, the unique CD-ROM is the first of its kind to be produced by the AES. It has been developed to familiarize audio engineers, broadcast engineers, and students of audio with the underlying principles of perceptual audio coding.
