"I'm honored to be part of the AES Broadcast Sessions again," says Carroll. "In the last five years, we've focused on loudness solutions, surround sound issues, and standardization efforts.

New Linear Acoustic products AERO.mobile(TM) and AERO.file(TM) are now leading the way in expanding DTV technologies.
