Abstract:
High-performance media networks support professional quality audio (16 bit, 44,1 kHz and higher) with low
latencies (less than 10 milliseconds) compatible with live sound reinforcement. The level of network
performance needed to meet these requirements is typically available on wired local-area networks and is
achievable on enterprise-scale networks. A number of networked audio systems have been developed to support
high-performance media networking but until now there were no recommendations for operating these systems
in an interoperable manner. This standard provides comprehensive interoperability recommendations in the
areas of synchronization, media clock identification, network transport, encoding and streaming, session
description and connection management.

Abstract:
This AES Recommended Practice (RP) provides comprehensive recommendations establishing and implementing an effective Distribution Loudness for streaming and on-demand audio file playback. It is intended for use by distributors of Internet audio streams and on-demand audio files. Implementing these guidelines will provide consistent Loudness and appropriate playback loudness range, will reduce audio quality degradation from excessive limiting, will preserve the original artistic intent, and will improve the listening experience. This document does not recommend Loudness Range (LRA), device target playback loudness or device dynamic range.
