Ion Audio

ION's new Rock Band drum set, the Drum Rocker Pro, features the just-like-the-real-thing Pro Pedal, as well as the capability to upgrade the unit from a game controller to a "real" drum set by tacking on an Alesis drum module. The Drum Rocker Pro will hit stores later on this year when Rock Band 3 is released.  

A long time ago, in a studio far, far away . . . Bill Holland broke out the Ion Audio iPTUSB to transfer his well-loved vinyl copy of the Return Of The Jedi soundtrack to MP3.  

Before movies came on shiny discs, bulky VHS tapes reigned supreme. Ion Audio VCR 2 PC will convert them into digital format for you and save a lot of space in the process.  

Ion Audio made their name with USB turntables that could rip vinyl to your computer for later porting onto mp3 players or CDs. Their new turntables cut out the middle man.  

Our resident Vinyl-phile Jason "DJ Puzzle" Donnelly chats with Autumn Pittman of Ion Audio about the new stuff they exhibited at Winter NAMM 2008. What's news on the USB A/D conversion front? How about VHS to your PC, or Vynal to your iPod?
