AES-14id-2010 (r2015) AES information document for interconnections - Universal jack for IEC 60603-11 and B gauge 6,35 mm plugs has been reaffirmed in a new printing.
Users of test equipment and portable audio equipment such as mixers and direct-injection (DI) boxes, may have to handle 'consumer' type equipment that uses the IEC 60603-11 3 contact (tip-ring-sleeve, or TRS) 6,3 mm plug connector and also professional equipment that uses the B-gauge connector. Traditionally, this has required the use of numerous ad-hoc adapters and connecting leads with different plugs at each end. Neither solution is very convenient and may be unreliable.
Jack connectors that can accommodate both types of plug have existed for some time, but are not well known. Some TRS jacks will accommodate both types of plug but are not specified by the manufacturer for such use. Clause 5 recommends jack dimensions that are specified to have the required "universal" capability. This does not imply that there may not be others.

AES69-2015 AES standard for file exchange - Spatial acoustic data file format, has been published.
This document standardizes a file format to exchange space-related acoustic data in various forms. The format is designed to be scalable to match the available rendering process. The format is designed to be sufficiently flexible to include source materials from different databases.
Binaural listening is growing fast, because of growing sales in smartphones, tablets and other individual entertainment systems. The lack of a standard for the exchange of head-related transfer functions (HRTF) means each company keeps its binaural capture and rendering algorithms private. 3D audio is arising, and binaural listening could be the very first 3D audio vector with sufficient fidelity of HRTF.
The use of convolution-based reverberation processors in 3D virtual audio environments has grown with the increase in available computing power. Convolution-based reverberators guarantee for an authentic and natural listening experience, but also depend on the acoustic quality of the applied directional room impulse response (DRIR).
With a standardized file format for HRTF and DRIR data, each company could contribute its best algorithms, providing good personalized capture and/or rendering, allowing the consumer to choose its best combination of technologies for the best quality of experience.

The standard AES67-2013 specifies methods for high-performance streaming audio-over-IP network interoperability.
This report, AES-R12-2014, summarizes the AES67 interoperability test event ("plugfest") held at the Institut für Rundfunktechnik (IRT), Munich, Germany on 27 to 30 October 2014. Ten companies tested 16 products against each other to confirm interoperability. The results are presented, together with the results of a range of tests of optional operational modes described in the standard.
