Highlights from the 141st Audio Engineering Society Los Angeles Convention

The 141st Audio Engineering Society (AES) International Convention in Los Angeles, CA, was a great success - maybe not as vibrant as past New York editions, but probably one of the best in terms of content/topics and number of sessions. The exhibition was always well attended and exhibitors were always busy, especially those targeting studio/recording applications - sometimes it even felt a bit like the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Show, with celebrities like Stevie Wonder walking around and some demos pumping the volume a little too much.

During the 141st Audio Engineering Society convention in Los Angeles, Archwave and Bosch have demonstrated an AES67 and AES70 (OCA) integrated networked platform for audio, control and connection management. Archwave worked together with Bosch and their combined teams to integrate the two existing audio industry standards into a full-fledged solution for audio networking.

OCA Alliance confirmed that Open Control Architecture (OCA) – an open control and monitoring standard for professional audio and AV media network devices – has been officially standardized on 4 January 2016 by the Audio Engineering Society Standards Committee (AESSC) in the newly published AES70-2015 standard for audio applications of networks - Open Control Architecture.
