Technical Council & Committees

AES Technical Council

The technical council and its first technical committees were founded by the Audio engineering Society in 1979, and standing rules covering their activities were established in 1986, with the intention of defining and consolidating the technical leadership of the Society for the benefit of the membership. The Technical Council consists of the Officers of the Technical Council, the Chairs of the Technical Committees, the Editor of the Journal, and as ex-officio members without vote, the other Officers of the Society.

Officers of the Technical Council include:

The Technical Council supports 20 Technical Committees representing distinct fields of audio engineering theory and practice:

 - Other Projects and Information

  • In January of 2002, The Audio Engineering Society's Technical Council launched a tutorial project on CD-ROM, "Perceptual Audio Coders: What to Listen For." Developed by the Technical Committee on Coding of Audio Signals, and produced by Dr. Markus Erne, the unique CD-ROM is the first of its kind to be produced by the AES. It has been developed to familiarize audio engineers, broadcast engineers, and students of audio with the underlying principles of perceptual audio coding.
    About twenty years later, the Technical Committee on Coding of Audio Signals produced a second-generation educational package that adds tutoring on new artifact types as they can be typically experienced with advanced audio codec processing (e.g. bandwidth extension or parametric stereo). Moreover, the format of the material was enhanced for seamless display and playback on PCs, tablets and mobile phones and includes interactive graphics elements. This makes it an attractive educational package that is made available freely on the web.
 
 
Digital Audio Educational CD

This new educational CD, produced by the AES Technical Committee on Signal Processing (TC_SP), is intended primarily to address issues relevant to digital signal processing algorithm designers and implementers. The examples on this disc are intended to demonstrate a variety of audible artifacts, both good and bad, that digital audio signal processing engineers are likely to come across in their work.
