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

As audio systems designers, we rely on manufacturers' specifications not only for a list of features, but for how a piece of equipment can be integrated into a system.

Now what do you do when you find a pin-1 problem?

How can you find out if your audio equipment has the dreaded pin 1-problem?

This month we'll wind up our series on the structure of AES audio with a discussion of embedded audio in a SMPTE 292M high-definition signal.

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?

As the shift to 5.1 and beyond surround sound mixing rooms continues—with the potential for immersive audio on the horizon—there have been some new thoughts on the internal acoustical design.
