The Audio Amateur company was founded by Edward T. Dell in 1970, and was the beginning for Audio Electronics, Speaker Builder, Glass Audio, Multimedia Manufacturer, and other audio-focused periodicals. Eventually, in January 2001, Ed Dell decided to create a monthly magazine, merging those quarterly publications into audioXpress. Since its foundation, audioXpress inherited a long-standing tradition of serving up the best in audio DIY, electronics and innovations — the reason why audioXpress magazine adopted the motto “Advancing the Evolution of Audio Technology Since 1970.” Today, that sentence reflects our mission as a Global Audio Development and Design magazine and website.
Celebrating 50 Years!
In January 2021, we celebrated 50 years from the company’s origins and 20 years of audioXpress magazine. Fifty years is a remarkable landmark for any company, and particularly for a publishing venture. The publication’s team of award-winning and highly recognized authors from around the world are the reason why audioXpress has gained such wide recognition from global audio electronics, engineering, and DIY enthusiasts communities like no other publication, and is today recognized by R&D teams and audio product developers and designers worldwide.
Of course, audioXpress evolved, and is today much more focused on Audio Development and Design, particularly with its globally recognized website serving daily product and industry updates. Also, audioXpress’ audience has significantly expanded since 2014, when the magazine embraced its audio development focus and expanded its coverage on audio innovations across all market segments to embrace all audio products and applications, from headphones, wireless audio, voice interfaces, communications, and automotive to cutting-edge speech, sound recognition and acoustics modeling.
Now reaching many more readers all over the world with its print and digital combined circulation, the majority of the magazine’s readers are engineers working in manufacturers’ R&D departments, engineers involved in product design and development, manufacturing, systems integration, and consultancy. With an increased focus on audio product development and design, audio electronics, acoustics, and electro-acoustics, audioXpress is continously expanding its coverage and content to better serve its readers worldwide. Contributions from industry luminaries include:- Vance Dickason, author of the Loudspeaker Design Cookbook, and engineering consultant for over 40 years
- Dr. Richard Honeycutt, acoustics consultant and entrepreneur with a PhD in electroacoustics
- Mike Klasco, president of Menlo Scientific and Engineering consultant for many leading companies
- Stuart Yaniger, designer and builder of audio equipment for nearly half a century, currently works as a technical director for a large industrial company.
- Jan Didden, a retired Netherlands Air Force and NATO engineer, Linear Audio bookzine editor (linearaudio.nl) and contributor for audioXpress since the 1970s.
