In his introduction, Section Chairman Graeme Huon outlined Paul’s wide experience in his field, names like Dallas Semiconductor, JPL, M Audio/Digidesign, where he was head of engineering. We heard how he later founded Avermetrics (production line and benchtop audio analysers), and since moving to Australia, has founded Glassworks Audio which specialises in high-end professional audio equipment.  Paul started his presentation with an apology and a warning that “there will be mathematics”.

AES June 2025 Meeting: it was a change of pace

Secretary

Melbourne AES social events are a new initiative to foster ‘off-agenda’ discussions amidst good company and good food. These events are open to all members and interested guests. The second of our socialisations this year was at Patterson Lakes on Monday 23rd June, and had a distinctly Indian flavour – just the thing for a cold Melbourne evening.

There were many interesting discussions on a wide range of topics, with all contributing. The diversity of knowledge and experience exposed those attending to new disciplines, concepts, and ideas in the diverse fields of audio engineering. All this accompanied by a ‘succulent Indian meal’.

It was the general opinion that these events should become more regular, so keep a lookout for the next opportunity.
Our next meeting includes the AGM, and will be on Monday, 11th August via Zoom.

Further details will be available in the next few weeks.
