Areas of Concentration
There are three general areas of concentration that describe the committee’s primary activities:
High resolution technology, comprising design issues and advances that enable high performance in playback gear:
– ADC and DAC
– Analog and digital systems and circuitry
– System technology
– Relevant aspects of transducer design
– Technology related to present and future distribution methods (discs, networks, electronic delivery)
Signal processing and theoretical issues related to high resolution waveforms including bandwidth, sampling rate, filtering, time resolution, dynamic resolution, spatial representation, etc.
Perceptual models and testing procedures permitting growth in the understanding and evaluation of high resolution audio, and of those parameters significant to waveform and equipment design.
