I think that AES is to the only one that can and SHOULD do something to encourage the stopping of the practice of freely exchanging these terms.\u003cbr\u003eE.g, • major console brands, either analog and digital in either plain word or the ø symbol; • Daw software (nuendo, reaper, etc.); • outboard equipment (including such classics as 1073 neve eq); • videos (Allan Parsons MTCS DVD); • books.\u003cbr\u003eDuring this presentation I will: • Acknowledge the situation: I´ll show the results of a survey done on the 2 past NY conventions, where 100% of the polarity switches in the exhibition floor was reviewed and photographed, showing inconsistency in the naming of the switch even in different products from the same manufacturer; • Teach terms: I´ll state actual definitions and clarify the concepts of phase and polarity with audio examples of each; • Encourage the discussion: I want to gather people together to nourish this venture, discussing possible abbreviation and symbol (ICON) to represent polarity in order to gather information that may lead to an AES TD; • I´ll invite fellow audio men and women to speak properly about those important concepts (and THEN be able to think properly about this quite basic concepts, albeit misunderstood).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audio Engineering Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49970090279227,"sku":"19AES-AP03","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/3560\/9147\/files\/19AESPic_056e7ff6-00ad-4c7c-8068-85f37fd35344.jpg?v=1737907923","url":"https:\/\/mobiltape.com\/products\/19aes-ap03-shame-on-us-phase-is-not-polarity","provider":"Mobiltape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
