Reproduced Sound 2024
40th Anniversary Conference and Exhibition
The Electro-Acoustics Group Committee of the Institute of Acoustics is pleased to announce Reproduced Sound 2024: 40th Anniversary Conference and Exhibition. The conference will be held in Bristol on 12 – 14 November 2024.
Now in its 40th year, the conference represents the cutting edge of modern audio and acoustics in an informal environment that allows consultants, manufacturers, contractors, end users, academics, and students to mingle and share insights and information.

The programme for Reproduced Sound 2024 can be viewed here.
Registration will be available through the IOA’s event page soon.
PETER BARNETT MEMORIAL AWARD
Keith Holland
Keith Holland is this year’s recipient of the Peter Barnett Memorial Award, for his lifelong contributions to electro-acoustics, both through ground-breaking research and education.
His contributions to the fields of electro-acoustics, studio acoustics and listening spaces include such topics as cepstral analysis of time-domain problems in loudspeakers and excess phase at low frequencies in vented loudspeaker boxes. Many of his papers and a book have been co-written with Philip Newell, with Keith providing much of the research and theoretical foundation for their collaboration. Their combined efforts have helped to shape the acoustic design of recording studios and control rooms and the associated monitoring loudspeakers. The electroacoustic testing that Keith conducted for Studio Sound magazine set a new, high benchmark for rigorous and sophisticated loudspeaker measurements.
Keith will be on hand at Reproduced Sound 2024 to deliver his award lecture entitled “Acoustics: Inside Out and Back to Front”.
TUESDAY EVENING WORKSHOP
Analogue synth workshop
The Reproduced Sound Committee have sourced a select number of examples of classic analogue synthesisers and modern digital / hybrid clones, which represent a range of the most iconic sounds. We are hosting an evening to explore select models by listening, inviting discussion, comparison of key features, and performing fundamental measurements. We hope to explore the nuances with a bit of a sceptical mind, far from marketing stories, to understand what makes these synthesizers so celebrated. Please join us for this fascinating delve into the arcane world of some classic synth sounds.
Buddy Scheme
Attending a conference for the first time or as a new member of a scientific community could feel daunting. To offer support and to aid a smooth integration, we have a buddy scheme at the Reproduced Sound 2024 conference.
The buddy scheme is an informal support and mentoring initiative aimed at attendees who are new to Reproduced Sound. Delegates will be able to recognise “Buddies” by their red badges.
Buddies can answer questions, provide information about the conference and help with general integration into the community.
The buddy scheme is open to all interested attendees. We hope that this scheme provides a great opportunity to meet new people and hope that it makes our conference an enjoyable experience.
