The Audio Engineering Society, in its continued mission to offer the exclusive
technical programs and events for audio professionals and students of all levels, is
introducing the new Professional Sound Expo (PSE), sponsored by Avid and Genelec,
at the upcoming AES Paris Convention, taking place at the Palais des Congres in
Paris, France, June 4 through 7, 2016. As part of the free offerings included with an
Exhibits-Plus badge, and also open to premium All Access attendees, the PSE will
bring together industry leaders and manufacturers of the latest technologies to
discuss a wide range of topics relevant to anyone working to maximize their
professional skills and knowledge. With Exhibition bookings having doubled to over
130 exhibiting brands, and with pre-registration on pace to set a 21st century
attendance record for the European AES Conventions, this convention-first PSE is
not to be missed, as the AES continues its outreach to unite the international audio
community with the industry leaders, manufacturers and innovators that shape the
industry.
This first edition of the Professional Sound Expo focuses on revealing further
insights on fundamental topics ranging from microphones and acoustic treatments,
to measurement and audio quality control. Several presentations will focus on
fundamentals of frequency, phase, and crosstalk issues, along with issues and
solutions in sessions including “A High Quality Crosstalk Cancellation Loudspeaker,’
“Active Velocity Acoustic Absorption for Low Frequencies,’ and “The Importance of
Controlling Phase and Damping Monitors.’ A series of “Acoustic Room Treatment’
sessions will also explore specific situations and tools for successfully outfitting a
room for maximum listening efficiency.
Another popular series of presentations at recent AES conventions are the “Mic to
Monitor’ sessions, sponsored by Prism Sound, which aim to answer questions such
as what makes great gear “great,’ what it takes to become a successful audio
engineer, and how professionals tackle different aspects of their productions to
create hit records. Further presentations each day, sponsored by AEA, invite
attendees to immerse themselves in an AES ribbon microphone demo and to view
featured AEA Sessions series videos.
Additional specialized sessions throughout the PSE will take a look at important
technical topics, including “Measurement Microphones,’ “Measurement Uncertainty
in Audio Testing,’ and “Microphone Basics,’ and the series will also feature session
on using “Pro Tools in the Cloud’ and will conclude with a presentation titled “Digital
Microphones — AES42 and All That,’ which will shed light on the 15-year history and
applications of AES42 digital microphones in the industry.
