It's voltage. "Audio" also designates that it is an ac signal in the
frequency range that is audible to human hearing, around 20-20khz (for
young pups, less high freq for some of us older guys). This is opposed to
control signals like gates, triggers, envelopes, keyboard v/octave
voltages, etc. which are sub-audio.
