Thanks for the confirmation on this. That's really quite ridiculous! Deservedly a -shame -for the AES for publishing this if indeed there was some kind of scholarly peer-review process applied and missed such an obvious omission. Maybe they should print / publish a followup where the authors are asked to submit details of the filters, or a retraction if these basics of the experiment set-up cannot be provided?!
