OUR STORY · THE FAMILY BEHIND ION
inMusic
GLOBAL MUSIC TECHNOLOGYToday, ION is part of inMusic: a privately owned global family of music technology and audio brands. Each brand keeps its own identity, while drawing on shared strength in engineering, design, manufacturing, marketing and support.
ION Audio was created in 2002 by Jack O'Donnell around a category-making first product: the USB conversion turntable. It transformed emerging technology into something people could understand and use.
For Europe, that means unmistakable ION energy — backed by the scale and experience of inMusic.Visit inMusicTHE BENELUX · WHERE THE EUROPEAN STORY BEGAN
In 2006, Konrad van den Bosch introduced ION Audio to the Benelux, beginning a relationship with the American brand that would bring a wide range of innovative consumer technologies to the European market.
CONNECTING OLD AND NEW WORLDS
Over the years, ION introduced products that connected old and new worlds.
USB turntables made it simple to bring vinyl into the digital age.
USB slide scanners gave old memories a new life.
Even video could make the transition to digital through innovative USB video solutions.
From early selfie stick concepts and VR360 products to consumer VR headsets, ION consistently explored new categories as technology and consumer behaviour changed.
