iZotope, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, is owned by Native Instruments. Founded in 2001, it employs approximately 60 individuals and reported $10.0M in revenue as of 2024. The company specializes in creating tools utilizing audio DSP technology. Its offerings include features such as noise reduction, sample rate conversion, dithering, time stretching, and audio enhancement, catering to the consumer and professional audio industries.
On July 20, 2026, details emerged regarding the audio community's nervousness over the past few months, as iZotope's former parent company, Native Instruments GmbH, had filed for preliminary insolvency in Germany at the start of the year. This context surrounded Boris FX's acquisition of iZotope, an audio production technology company known for intelligent tools including RX, Ozone, Neutron, and Nectar. Boris FX announced the acquisition on July 8, positioning itself as a broader provider of professional tools across audio and video post-production by adding iZotope's widely used music production and post-production tools to its existing DAW and visual effects portfolio. The visual effects developer, known for Sapphire, Continuum, and Mocha Pro, confirmed it acquired iZotope on July 7. This move followed a July 2 announcement where Boris FX acquired iZotope, which had recently been part of the Native Instruments bankruptcy bundle bought by inMusic Brands. iZotope was carved out and sold again to Boris FX following a personal commitment by Boris Yamnitsky, the founder and CEO of Boris FX.
