On Monday 12th December, the Melbourne Section of the AES held our regular bi-monthly meeting.
We welcomed about 30 members and guests via Zoom.
Leading radio broadcast technologist and Chair of the AES Technical Group on Audio Loudness for Streaming, John Kean presented to us on the topic of
AES’ Development and Promotion of Audio Loudness Techniques
for new audio delivery platforms
Chairman Graeme Huon introduced John, who started his presentation with an explanation of the reality of inconsistent audio loudness across various streamed audio sources accessed on the same device – content such as music, podcasts, radio streams and virtual assistant responses. He explained how that issue was the catalyst for the development of the AES TD1008 Technical Document on this subject.
