A History of Audio Engineering and Magnetic Recording Before 1943 Heinz Thiele chaired a session on "Audio History and Technology" at the 94th AES Convention in Berlin in March 1993. Twelve papers were read, and a magnetic tape stereo recording from 1943 was played to demonstrate the progress of the technology up to that date. The authors, titles, and abstracts of the papers are given below. Although the papers from this session were never published in the AES Journal, there were English-language convention papers of eleven of the papers. In addition, all twelve papers were published in a German-language book that was sold at the 94th Convention, as was a CD of the recordings which were originally made in 1943. Includes the CD "The 50th Anniversary of Stereophonic Tape Recording". Order Here
