Testimonials

Customer Testimonials & Reviews

"I appreciate the no BS comparisons and in depth system differences that you articulated so well... I can't believe that I have actually found a company out there that still gives such great customer care in this day and age of consumer confusion. I am very glad that I found you guys. I am looking forward to placing an order!

Nice Job!"

Frank D.

"I have just today purchased a RAIN AUDIO product.

I must just say how impressed I am with the pre customer support I received.

Often quality service is either taken for granted or, more often, absent and I feel compelled to underline how impressed I am.

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop ( ;-) but I am getting the feeling it won't in your case...

nice job and can't wait to get my gear.... Christmas in April"

Michael Hynes
Producer, Mode Records (NYC)

John W.

"Thanks for a solid product, and good service."

Nicholas V.

"Thanks,

The experience so far has been terrific. Everyone was very helpful and I wish that all customer service interactions at our business were up to this level. I'm looking forward to making music with my new system!"

ION MT is built on a solid platform of mature technology. Developed for industrial integration, legacy Pro Tools HD and mission critical applications, ION MT is a powerful, stable media authoring and playback system. At its core sits Intel's venerable "Penryn" Quad Core technology, up to 8GB of low latency, 1333MHz memory and 6 terabytes of high speed RAID storage. The convertable, rackmount case is a beautiful laser-etched, aluminum, part of the Quiet Cool™ Design that keeps the temperature low with virtually silent operation.
