Reproduced Sound comes to Manchester & Salford in 2013

'Delivering the experience – from imagination to realisation in audio' ...

...will be the theme of the 2013 Reproduced Sound conference, to be held at the Renaissance Manchester Hotel from 12-14 November.  The Conference paper sessions will take place on 13th and 14th, with the afternoon and evening of the 12th providing a fantastic opportunity to visit and experience the acoustics and audio research projects active at both Salford University and the BBC R&D team, both located at the Media City campus at Salford Quays.

Organised by the Institute of Acoustics, it is now in its 29th year and since its inception the conferences have become established as representing the cutting edge of modern audio and acoustics in an informal environment where attendees freely mingle and welcome the sharing of insight and information.

Paul Malpas, organiser, said; “Over the years RS conferences have  become ‘must attend’ events for many people from a wide background in acoustics and audio sectors, from acoustic scientists to audio system designers, and from consulting engineers to venue operators, to name just a few, and I am confident that the 2013 will be another huge success.

Sponsors of RS 2012

Reproduced Sound is proud to have had the following sponsors for the event in 2012.

   

Sponsors for 2013 will be displayed here soon.

Reproduced Sound organisation

Reproduced Sound is organised by the Electro Acoustics Group of the Institute of Acoustics and they have been responsible for the previous conferences since the outset in 1985. 

The conference venue has moved around the country and for a long time it was associated with the Hydro Hotel in Bowness on Windermere.  In recent years the organising committee has , from time to time,  chosen a recently built modern venue whose features may illustrate aspects of the conference topics.

In addition Reproduced Sound is run with the support of other organisations whose scope of interests matches and with whom the conference is jointly promoted.    

Reproduced Sound - The Conference

Reproduced sound is a conference which is organised by the Electoacoustics group of the Institute of Acoustics. The topics it covers will interest all those who work  in the multi-disciplinary world where matters electrical and electronic meet with matters acoustic, architectural or intelligibility. 

The Electroacoustics group has organised this annual conference since 1985.  A core topic for technical contributions is agreed each year around which contributions on  traditional areas of interaction of acoustical matters with electronics are placed.  Past conferences have covered issues as diverse as:

  • Complex modelling of acoustic spaces
  • Finite element modelling of transducers
  • Noise in the environment
  • Psychoacoustics and the neurophysiology of the hearing process
  • Concert and live performance sound balancing
  • Intelligibility in environments as varied as railway stations to classrooms
  • Noise in the environment for example noise spill from raves and club venues
  • Vibration and subsonic acoustical issues from various sources

The conference programme is now published. Go to the IOA website to register: www.ioa.org.uk

The conference is supported by organisations and institutes whose interests are closely allied with those of the electroacoustics group.

The IoA is the UK’s premier professional organisation for all matters dealing with acoustics, vibration and noise and was established in 1974.
