IEEE standards for design of audio electronics equipment

[Bemusedjohnny]

Does anyone know which standard practices are used in electronics
design for audio equipment? Or electronics in general? I'm trying to
learn more about IEEE standards, and I need a place to start. Thank
you!

the IEEE certainly have no interest in audio !

The AES has some good publications about recommended practice for audio.

For equipment design it's the skill of the designer that gets the job done
though. There are no *standard practices* though. God knows I sometimes wish
there were ! I've just spent about 40 hrs over the last few days weeding out
*bad practice* from several pieces of supposedly 'pro' audio equipment and the
attempts of supposed 'pros' to correctly interconnect them. I'm close to being
fit to explode.

I'm close to being fit to explode.

We can only hope.

I think you're misreading the question. It seems to be really about IEEE
standards. Because after asking about audio, he then asks about audio in
general, and then states his real purpose, "trying to learn more about
IEEE standards".

It's the last that his homework question (or perhaps his own question)
is about. The audio comes in because he doesn't know where to start,
and assumes there must be audio-related IEEE standards. It may even
be a case of trying to start with something familiar, and who doesn't
ahve a stereo?

Obviously, he needs to find a brief introduction to the IEEE standards,
maybe something as small as a dictionary entry. Then build from
there. From the question, it sounds like the specific standards mean
less than how they come to be, but that's just a guess based on a post
that isn't really well worded to get a tood answer.

You can safely ignore the IEEE.

Standards which are, in theory, legally mandatory include the ANSI/UL
safety standards, FCC part 19 emi, and the corresponding CE standards.
These are often ignored for low-volume equipment, although it is
prudent to be aware of them and design in a good-faith attempt to
comply, even if you don't immediately plan to certify. But they don't
address electronic design as such.

There's an enormous, informal, sometimes contradictory body of
"standard practices" about which few books have been written. "The Art
of Electronics" is probably the best, if a bit dated as regards
packaging and techniques. Jim Williams' two books are fun. Handbooks,
like the old Reference Data for Radio Engineers, are cheap on the used
market and worth having around.

Most people pick this stuff up on the job, like most other crafts.
