Who

IO DESIGN is a strong team of professionals from different and highly respected companies in several industries, sharing the same vision of perfection in audio reproduction, innovation and a deep team-working approach.

IO DESIGN roots lay deep down into 40 years in the hi-end market, jointly with more than 30 years of R&D, engineering and manufacturing in hi-tech and bio technologies for civil and military industries. Nothing that audio fans are used to see in high-end.

The knowledge on materials, the engineering competences and the industrial know-how, is based on our hi-tech soul and our industrial background based in the Industrial Design district in Italy, homeland of beauty since more than 2000 years.

Hifi4music’s strong competences on sound performance and tuning, drives technology at the service of IO Design’s loudspeakers. The team counts on:

  • Concept advisory
  • Sound performance supervisor
  • CAD design team
  • Crossover design supervisor
  • Boxing supervisor
  • Materials and technology advisory
  • Production supervisor (CNC, anodizing, leather lining, electronics and mechanical assembly, boxing)
  • Painting + Anodization supervisors
  • Project management full coordination

The key is network playing, the enablement is the specific knowledge and competence in every sector relevant for top audiophile projects, the ace is sustainably putting together all those competences in one focused team.

IO DESIGN peculiarity is to be able using expensive R&D and production resources, not available to hi-end companies, because normally unsustainable, without costs overburden and keeping a lean and agile structure that can’t be found in hi-fi companies (we call it planets alignment).

It’s a paradox but the highest end of audio market, doesn’t usually have the possibility to seriously invest on expensive R&D innovation, instead we do it in network and… it worked out great!

Welcome to a completely new world of listening.
