That’s because we will talk about some of the most important things you need to know about the turntable, including its most noteworthy features and what consumers are saying about it.
Key Features
The sleek body of the Ion Audio Air LP features just a platter, tonearm, and a few buttons and switches. Needless to say, it’s not meant for DJing purposes. However, it’s worthy of taking center stage in your entertainment hub at home not only because it looks classy and cool, but also packs the following key features:
- Record digitization. Just because you love records doesn’t mean that you always prefer listening to your favorite songs using a turntable. The good news is that the Ion Audio Air LP can be connected to your PC or Mac to have your records converted into digital audio files! The manufacturer has included the Ion Audio EZ software to facilitate digitization of your record collection.
- Bluetooth connectivity. Do you want to keep your home clutter-free? Then you will love the fact that the Ion Audio Air LP has Bluetooth functionality. This means that you can use the turntable together with Bluetooth speakers. You can connect the turntable to Bluetooth speakers for up to a 10-meter range.
- Hinged dust cover. We can’t help but notice that the Ion Audio Air LP is one of the most attractive turntables in the current market, courtesy of its curves and piano black finish. To keep its gloss intact, it comes with a dust cover that’s hinged to the unit so that you may engage and disengage it trouble-free.
What We Like
The Ion Audio Air LP can impress with its appearance and performance. Here are just some of the top reasons why the turntable has won our hearts without any delay:

- Three-speed playback. It’s clear that the Ion Audio Air LP is made by its manufacturer with avid record collectors and staunch record listeners in mind. That’s because it’s capable of playing back 33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM speeds. However, it’s important to note that the 78 RPM stylus is not included with the purchase, but that’s okay as it can be easy to obtain anyway.
