Second ICSA to Take Place in 2014

Experts in the field, sound mixers and engineers, artists and researchers will come together at this symposium. The platform enables an intentionally hands-on sharing of knowledge and experience. Acoustically diverse rooms with parallel installations of wave field synthesis, 3D loudspeaker configurations with 9.1 to 22.2 channels and Higher Order Ambisonics will be available throughout the conference for listening comparisons and demonstrations.

Over 40 contributions have so far been submitted on these topics:
·    Multichannel systems incl. 3D audio & up-/down-mix
·    Channel and object based production
·    Wave field synthesis and higher-order Ambisonics
·    Binaural technologies
·    Spatial audio recording, transmission and coding
·    Standardization and application of 3D audio
·    Perception and quality evaluation

Several round table meetings with competent panel lists are in planning. The talks held during the conference will be published online in an ICSA conference transcript with an ISBN. The conference will be held in English.
