Digital Microphones—AES42 and All That
Presenter:John Willett, Sound-Link ProAudio - Bicester, Oxfordshire, UK; Circle Sound Services - Bicester, Oxfordshire, UK
Abstract:
AES42 Digital Microphones have been around for over 15 years now and still many people seem to be in the dark about them and the advantages they offer. Over these years the number of microphones has risen to over 40 from three major manufacturers (four if you include the measurement microphone from Microtech Gefell) and an increasing number of interfaces and recorders is becoming available. In this session the presenter will look at what AES42 is all about and discuss the advantages of digital microphones, with a look at the extensions to the standard added in AES42-2010.
