Mr. Stoll is also a member of different standardisation groups, such as MPEG, DAB, DVB, ITU-R and EBU. For his contributions in the area of low bit-rate audio coding, he received the Prof. Cremer Award from the German Acoustical Society, the Fellowship Award of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) and in October 2000 the Emmy-Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
