Audio Engineering magazine began publishing in May, 1947 with a new focus from its predecessor, "Radio".

The title changed to "Audio" in February, 1954, with a graphic redesign. The first 7 years focused on technology and engineering, while the later issues highlighted consumer electronics and music.

"Audio" published reviews of audio products and audio technology as well as featuring informational articles on topics such as acoustics, psychoacoustics and recording.

Audio was a direct successor to "Radio" magazine, started in the 20's.

Audio's final appearance was the combined February/March issue in 2000, making it the longest running audio magazine ever.
