I wanted to take a minute to talk about what makes the Digital Power Station truly unique among audio technologies…  The DPS Plug-In has no fancy knobs or meters.  It doesn’t have a Minority Report style user interface.  It’s just a few buttons.  So what gives?  Why is it special?

It’s the people.

The buttons on the user interface switch between the different “profiles” you pick in the “preferences” window.  So what is a “profile”?  A DPS profile is definitely not your everyday “rock” or “jazz” or “hall” eq effect preset!  Those presets-of-old tried to tailor the device to suit what you might want the music to sound like.  Once you found the preset you liked on your old boombox it pretty much stayed that way, right?  That ubiquitous smiley face eq curve.  Or maybe you did it Twisted Sister style and slammed all those little eq sliders all the way up!  \^^/,

Well, the DPS Profile is a whole new animal.  The DPS technology is a powerful and adaptive tool that Bongiovi Acoustics audio engineers can use to optimize the audio for any device.  And it is all done by hand.

Hence the people.

So a real live person (like Tony B, Phil or myself) sits down with the proper tools and “tunes” that audio device with the DPS technology to perform as close to an ideal as possible.  The ideal we hold is the sound of music being played back in our studio control room.  The control room is an  acoustically accurate environment in which we have chosen speakers and amplifiers that match that space so we have the tools to create music that sounds great everywhere.  The sound in our control room just reaches out and grabs you.  And it also tells us what is right and wrong about the sound!  So, short story long, the DPS technology optimizes an audio signal to be most efficient for a specific device.  And that only happens after a Bongiovi Acoustics engineer has laid their hands on the thing.
