Sound performance setup is delegated to Hifi4music’s team, frontend of the project due to the experience and competence in sound setup and acoustics.
Production is managed in Italy, by our network leading company, under the control and with the scale economy prices of our hi-tech partners network. This is key to keep IO Design prices reasonable, such a construction would cost the double in any other high-end company.

All the design elements always have a meaning and participate to the final performance of the loudspeaker, nothing is left to chance and not a single solution is bent to the sole request of the visual aspect without a payback on the sound performance. All of this made it crazy difficult to get such a brilliant and innovative design jointly with performance.
