About Us
For over thirty years Innes Corporation has been a leader in delivering a diverse range of quality radio and TV broadcast equipment for both the Australian and global market.
Founded in 1977, by Managing Director John Innes, Innes Corporation became a Proprietary Limited company in 1987.
Originally established to service both television and radio stations alike, the collapse of Channel 9 after the Bond ownership resulted in the banks taking ownership of the major channels. At this time, TV equipment sales almost disappeared and Innes Corporation turned its focus and expertise towards the radio industry.
Over time, Innes Corporation has built a solid reputation in the radio services industry, primarily focusing on antennas, transmitters, measuring instruments and program input equipment.
Today, Innes Corporation continues to develop and manufacture program logging recorders for AM, FM and DAB+ bands, as well as PCI sound cards, AM, FM and DAB+ radio tuner cards, processing equipment, and time zone delay systems.
In recent times Innes Corporation has significantly increased its international distribution network through Europe, the United States of America, Canada, South Africa and Asia, ensuring that the Innes Product line is taking the world by storm.
John Innes- Managing Director
Prior to the establishment of Innes Corporation, Managing Director John Innes worked on HF and VHF transmitters until the advent of television in Australia in 1956, when he transferred his talents to the television broadcast industry. John then joined RCA, first as a field engineer installing antennas and broadcast transmitters, studio colour cameras, and video switching systems.
John held the position of Chief Engineer for RCA's Australian operation until his resignation from RCA. Projects during this period included building the Radio Australia transmitting station near Darwin, in Australia's Northern Territory. He subsequently worked for RCA on a consulting basis, including development work on RCA's 5 kilowatt solid state AM transmitter in their Meadowlands, Pennsylvania plant, and radio and TV transmitter installations in the Pacific and Asian regions.
