The problem is that not everyone perceives lip sync errors in the same way.

It's truly amazing the extent of available measurement tools that literally fit in the palm of a hand.

Fingerprinting or correlation techniques involve comparing two signals, a reference source known to have no lip-sync error, and a second signal somewhere down the signal chain.

Before the TEF analyzer came along, one would need a shelf full of different and expensive instrumentation

When you think of an acoustical material, what comes to mind? Maybe some kind of dark gray foam glued to a wall? Perhaps orange shag carpeting?

Sound has dimension, and it's sometimes easy to forget just how big sound can be.

At its core, the standard defines digital phantom power (DPP) for a microphone with built-in digital circuitry.

Many processors, such as embedders or encoders, have internal delays, obviating the need for external ones.

When designing and building an HD facility, the video part can be relatively simple compared to audio.

With NAB2007 fast approaching, here are some tips to help in your search for a surround sound mixing system.

We casually speak of digital audio, often referring to it as AES audio, perhaps AES3 (for the number of the AES standard), or by an older term AES/EBU. But what exactly is this AES3 signal?

There are a few more parts of the AES3 bitstream that still need to be discussed—the timeslots for the digital audio signal, as well as the user and channel status bits.

It is consistent with what I've learned, taught and lived with through the years: slits behind the microphone diaphragm allow the sound to enter and create acoustic cancellations.
