Audio EngineerAudio engineering is a part of audio science that deals with the recording and reproduction of sound through mechanical and electronic means. An audio engineer is someone with experience and training in the production and manipulation of sound through mechanical (analog) or digital means. Audio engineers are generally familiar with the design, installation, and/or operation of sound recording, sound reinforcement, or sound broadcasting equipment, including large and small format consoles.
An audio engineer will usually be trained in the use of various sound equipment including mixer consoles, signal processors, microphones, tape decks, digital audio applications, and speaker systems. Audio engineers usually come from backgrounds such as electrical engineering or the fine arts. Many colleges and accredited institutions around the world offer degrees in audio engineering, such as a BS in audio production.
