AES Standards
The AES Standards Committee (AESSC), through a consensus system open to anyone materially affected by such standards, develops and publishes a number of standards on the subject of analog and digital audio recording, transmission, and/or reproduction. Notable standards include:
- AES3 (also commonly known as AES/EBU) for digital audio interconnection
- AES10 (also commonly known as MADI) for multichannel digital audio interconnection
- AES11 for digital audio synchronization
- AES42 for digitally interfaced microphones
- AES47 for sending AES3 digital audio data over Asynchronous Transfer Mode networks.
- AES48 on interconnections; grounding and EMC practices; and shields of connectors in audio equipment containing active circuitry.
- AES53 for assigning absolute times to the time markers provided by AES47.
AESSC also provides input to IEC for development and revision of international standards in audio engineering.
AES does not charge for participation in the standards process, but does charge non-members for online copies of published standards. Printed copies are available for a charge to both members and non-members.

Famous quotes containing the word standards:
“The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He’s got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won’t be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That’s all there is to it.”
—Clark Gable (1901–1960)
