This session will explore the discrepancies between how audio systems measure on paper and how they actually sound. Beginning with the misuse of Fourier theory, the talk will highlight overlooked artifacts, amplifier load interactions, and power supply effects that shape perception, along with fresh measurement approaches that better reflect real music, not just test tones.… Continue reading [Rescheduled] Discrepancies Between Measured and Perceived Quality of Sound Reproduction Systems
Over recent years, binaural audio has become an increasingly popular way to render immersive 3D sound experiences, and the automotive industry has been exploring how headrest-mounted loudspeakers could play a role in the future of in-car entertainment systems. One of the biggest challenges with binaural playback over loudspeakers is crosstalk, which usually reduces spatial accuracy… Continue reading AES U.K. Section – Do We Really Need Crosstalk Cancellation for Binaural Playback in Cars?
The “Hear Tomorrow” Hearing Conservation Workshop offers a new approach to promoting awareness of the ever-increasing problem of noise and music-induced hearing loss. This program is specifically targeted to students and professionals in music, music technology, audio and audiology. The workshop is divided into four distinct but interrelated units. The first unit introduces the audience… Continue reading AES Philadelphia Section – Teaching Hearing Awareness from the Intersection of Audio, Music and Audiology
The world’s leading expert Tomlinson Holman takes you on a journey through the evolution of surround sound from its earliest acoustic invention by composers, through the first surround sound recording and who invented it, into cinemas and its development ever since. Tomlinson will dissect the technical challenges posed and the approaches evolved leading to present-day… Continue reading AES Melbourne Section – The History and Future of Surround Sound
There is a large discrepancy between the measured and perceptual quality of audio systems. This is a severe hurdle for designing systems with a high perceptual quality. The presentation will begin with the improper use of the Fourier theory in audio, which lies at the basis of this discrepancy. From this starting point, several causes… Continue reading AES UK Section – Discrepancies between measured and perceived quality of sound reproduction system
This immersive event hosted by Adamson Systems Engineering will unveil a cutting-edge audio ecosystem designed to transform theatrical environments into multidimensional soundscapes. What’s in the Spotlight? We’ll get an under-the-hood perspective of the Adamson systems installed last spring at The Creative School Chrysalis at Toronto Metropolitan University—from hardware to software, integration to innovation.

Join the AES & Recording Academy members as we explore SPACE as compositional element – and its effects on audio production – at Dolby HQ. Composers have been using melody, rhythm, and harmony for thousands of years. Musique concrète expanded the use of timbre 75 years ago. Are we at the verge of another musical… Continue reading AES San Francisco Section – Spatial Composition – The New Frontier – at Dolby Headquarters
Presented by Stephen Ambrose, Founder & Chief Scientist at Asius Technologies, and The Pacific Northwest Section of the Audio Engineering Society Produced by Dan Mortensen, President, Dansound Inc. Traditional earphones and hearing devices create a sealed system that traps pneumatic pressure in the ear canal. This trapped pressure has long been linked to discomfort, listener… Continue reading AES Pacific Northwest Section – Creating A Life-Changing and Ear-Saving In-Ear Monitor/Hearing Aid Device
