Established in 1948, the Audio Engineering Society (AES) draws its membership from amongst engineers, scientists, manufacturers and other organisations and individuals with an interest or involvement in the professional audio industry. This includes film, TV and any media requiring the production of audio as a part of its business. Professional audio, also pro audio, can be used a term to refer to both a type of audio equipment as well as a type of audio engineering application. ...
The Audio Engineering Society is the only professional society devoted exclusively to audio technology. Its membership of leading engineers, scientists and other authorities has increased dramatically throughout the world, greatly boosting the society's stature and that of its members in a truly symbiotic relationship.
The organisation develops, reviews and publishes engineering standards for the audio and related media industries, and produces the AES Conventions, which are held twice a year alternating between Europe and the USA.
Audioengineering is different from Acoustical Engineering, which heavily relies on the underlying physics and mathematics of sound waves and their propagation.
Audioengineers are generally familiar with the design, installation, and/or operation of sound recording, sound reinforcement, or sound broadcasting equipment.
Commonly an audioengineer is responsible for the technical aspects of a sound recording or other audio production and works together with a record producer or director, although the engineer's role may also be integrated with that of the producer.
Section A. The AudioEngineeringSociety (AES), founded in 1948 and now well-established internationally, is the preeminent organizat.ion for disseminating and encouraging the development of new technologies that push forward the frontiers of audioengineering.
The diffusion and increase of educational and scientific knowledge in audioengineering, and the promotion and advancement of this science and its allied arts in both theoretical and practical application.
The stimulation of interest in audioengineering, the encouragement of the interchange and intercourse of ideas among its members, and the promotion and maintenance of high professional standards among its members.
