Audio Magazine covering audio engineering and
consumer audio gear - 1947 to 2000
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.
