Title: List of AES Honorary Members, compiled by Dan Mortensen
Post by: Mac Kerr on February 12, 2017, 05:10:43 PM
There are many ideas, methods, and formulas that we use in our daily audio lives that have someone's name on them. In many cases, those ideas, methods, and formulas were recognized as being as important as they are and the creators/idea people received an award from a professional organization for those creations.

The Audio Engineering Society has several awards that it gives for high achievement; one of them has the mundane title of "Honorary Member", and is the only one that can be received by non-members, even though Members may also receive it.

A friend of the Pacific Northwest Section of the AES received this award in 2011, and when we were trying to put his reception in context of the other recipients ran into a confusing listing system which dilutes the relation to other recipients as well as provided no information about what those recipients did to receive the award. So one of our members decided to compile this list and put as much information into it, including links to further information.

We hope you enjoy learning about what some of the giants of our industry did to be recognized and to create and discover principles which are fundamental to our work.

Loy E. Barton
Set forth the principle of high-level Class B plate modulation  http://www.rwonline.com/article/loy-barton-a-forgotten-radio-pioneer/18284

Warren P. Mason The most prolific inventor in the history of Bell Telephone Laboratories, having been granted 191 patents.  http://acousticalsociety.org/about/awards/gold/12_10_10_mason

Harry Nyquist As an engineer at Bell Laboratories, Nyquist did important work on thermal noise ("Johnson–Nyquist noise"),[1] the stability of feedback amplifiers, telegraphy, facsimile, television, and other important communications problems. With Herbert E. Ives, he helped to develop AT&T's first facsimile machines that were made public in 1924. In 1932, he published a classical paper on stability of feedback amplifiers.[2] The Nyquist stability criterion can now be found in all textbooks on feedback control theory.
His early theoretical work on determining the bandwidth requirements for transmitting information laid the foundations for later advances by Claude Shannon, which led to the development of information theory. In particular, Nyquist determined that the number of independent pulses that could be put through a telegraph channel per unit time is limited to twice the bandwidth of the channel, and published his results in the paper Certain topics in Telegraph Transmission Theory (1924).[3] This rule is essentially a dual of what is now known as the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Nyquist

Harry F. Olson
In1934, he was placed in charge of acoustical research at RCA. At RCA, Olson worked on a wide range of projects, which included developing microphones for the broadcasting and motion picture industries, improving loudspeakers, and making significant contributions to magnetic tape recording. Like many engineers of the World War II generation, Olson also made significant contributions to military technology as well, particularly to the fields of underwater sound and anti-submarine warfare. After the war Olson, along with Herbert Belar, developed the first modern electronic synthesizer. Equipped with electron tubes, the Mark II Sound Synthesizer was used to compose music, which was recorded and sold to the public.

A prolific inventor and engineer, Olson won more than 100 patents for the various types of microphones (including the widely used 44- and 77-series), cardioid (directional) microphones, loudspeaker baffles, air-suspension loudspeakers, isobaric loudspeakers, early video recording equipment, audio recording equipment, phonograph pickups, underwater sound equipment, noise reduction, sound technology in motion-pictures, and public-address systems he developed.
