Audio Engineering Society Announces Results of 2020 Elections

Following its 2020 Board of Directors and Board of Governors elections, the Audio Engineering Society confirmed that the 2021 Audio Engineering Society Board of Directors will include Jonathan Wyner (President), Agnieszka Roginska (Past-President), Joshua Reiss (new President-Elect), Valerie Tyler (Secretary), Glenn Lorbecki (Treasurer), Marina Bosi (Treasurer-Elect) and Alex Kosiorek (Director). One additional Director will be named by the Board of Governors per the recently amended AES Bylaws.

A new study by Dr. Joshua Reiss of the Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), published in the June issue of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (JAES), concludes that in the majority of cases listeners can hear a difference between standard audio and better-than-CD quality, known as high-resolution audio (HRA). The study, involving over 12,000 different trials, is the first to apply formal meta-analysis techniques to audio engineering research.
