About Me
Jamie Angus-Whiteoak is Professor Emerita of Audio Technology at the University of Salford. Her
career in industry and academia has spanned integrated optics, acoustics, analogue and
digital signal processing, and her expertise ranges from valve (tube) circuits to the applications
of esoteric number theory in signal processing. Jamie has invented modulated, wideband, and
absorbing diffusers, direct processing of Super Audio CD signals, and one of the first 4-
channel digital tape recorders. She worked in signal processing, analogue circuit design, and
numerous other audio technology topics, and has been active throughout the AES for 30
years. Aside from pioneering degree-level courses in both music technology and electronic
engineering in the UK, Jamie has been awarded an AES fellowship, the IoA Peter Barnett
Memorial Award, and the AES Silver and Gold Medal Awards "For extraordinary contributions as an innovator and inventor in the fields of audio science, acoustics, and signal processing".
She is also an honorary fellow of the IOA and ISCVE and is currently AES VP for Northern Europe.

The Real Waveform Matters
The Samples Are Not Always What They Seem09:00 - 09:50 UTC | Tuesday 11th November 2025 | Bristol 2BeginnerIntermediateAdvancedShannon-Nyquist sampling is so pervasive that we forget that, like any theory, there are terms and conditions attached. It assumes the signal is processed in a linear fashion. The minute these assumptions are violated, they break down and knowledge of the waveform the samples represent is required. One example is the simple act of measuring a waveform’s level as used in many audio applications. However, because the audio waveform is sampled the actual level may not be the sample values, but instead may be an intermediate value between the samples that may be higher, or lower, than the adjacent samples.
