1961 Session on Stereo Foreshadowed 2011’s

AES talked about FM stereo back then, too

By Paul Mclane ⋅

One of the highlights of this weekend’s AES show will be the panel discussion Friday evening noting the 50th anniversary of the cutover to FM stereo in the United States.

Organizer David Bialik shared this image, below. I enjoy the sense of continuity and historic connection between the 1961 event and 2011’s.

I wonder if anyone in attendance this weekend was at this event. I suspect Dick Burden, for one, was there.
