Transducers & Amplifiers

Mission Statement

TC-LH – Mission:

The committee works to ensure that the AES membership has the opportunity to learn of relevant new transducer technology as it develops, with an emphasis on sound field generation from loudspeakers and headphones.

Over the past half century, developments in electronics have removed nearly every electrical limitation in audio performance. However, the transducers at the ends of the signal chain remain the main source of nonlinearity in reproduced sound. This committee serves as a focal point for information on new theories and techniques in microphone transducer technology and application.
