The salary of an audio engineer ranges job to job, depending on whether it is in the television market, radio market, or for private client business. On average, the starting salary for an audio engineer ranges from 20,000-30,000 if the job is full time. Audio engineers can expect to make more after spending more time at the station or moving to a higher market or larger company. The candidate should take this time to discuss what they hope to make as a salary to come to an agreement with the hiring manager.

"Since I have much experience already working with your audio board and editing gear, I believe I would be worth between 23,000-25,000 for this job. However, I am open to discussions about other benefits I may receive."
