Where technology meets art

About International Phonograph Inc.

International Phonograph Inc. (IPI) was formed over 25 years ago with one thing in mind: to create the highest sound quality possible in the service of creative musicians.

The owner of IPI, Jonathan Horwich, has been recording, producing and mastering jazz and classical music since the mid 1960s. He has worked with such musicians as Stan Getz, Benny Goodman, Ravi Shankar, Chick Corea, Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, Gary Peacock, Clare Fischer, Gary Foster, Carmell Jones, Frank Strazzeri, Tony Williams, Richie Beirach, and many others.

Drawing on his extensive experience with high quality analog equipment, Jonathan conducted his own research and testing, uninfluenced by other opinions, to locate the finest equipment available. He has incorporated this superior equipment into the construction of IPI Studios, an analog and digital state-of-the-art facility that is second to none.

The focus at IPI has always been and will always be the music and the artist. IPI  believes that a studio and its equipment exists only to serve the musician and help him or her achieve a musical concept or goal. Hence, when a master tape copy or master CD is created for the customer or manufacturing, it is to the highest industry standards, preserving the artist’s vision, concept, and yes, even the joy and enthusiasm that he or she invested in the music.
