The Super Bowl Needs Super Audio

I am not your typical guy.  I am more into technology type stuff than sports.  I did watch bits and pieces of the super bowl this year.  The highlights for me were watching The Who at halftime and Megan Fox in the bathtub.  I couldn’t help but see Roger Daltry fighting with his ear monitor the entire performance.  It got me thinking.  So the game resumes and I see the same struggles going on with the referees!  A lot of ear touching going on.  Those of you with ear fetishes must have been in heaven.  I  just  found it humorous being that there is certainly all kinds of cash rolled into this event and there were clearly some audio issues going on.  One can’t help but think that it was hard to hear with all this discomfort in the ears of virtually everyone I saw on the field.  The Who publicly mentioned their dislike of their performance and I am sure the Indianapolis Colts feel the same way.  I am sure The Who and the referees will agree with me on this one.  The Super Bowl needs Super Audio!  Any solutions in mind?

CES 2010 – My Overview…

Wow…

First post here!

First off; let me do a little to introduce myself. My name’s Michael Hoffman – and until 2 years ago – I was a freelance filmmaker/editor/cinematographer. That was – until I came to Bongiovi Entertainment to have a film I was working on scored. Shortly afterward – I was hired to do a few shoots for the their team – and now – I’m a full time employee (on the entertainment side – not the Acoustics) running their HD/film department (which sits alongside one of their recording studios).

Over the past 2 years I’ve been traveling all over to shoot coverage for the Bongiovi Acoustics team – and some of the locations have been really amazing. Motown recording studios back in 2007 was a real highlight (where Tony Bongiovi received an honorary lifetime achievement award); directing the “Smokin” commercial for the JVC KDS-100 radio was a BLAST and CES from 2008 through now is always a killer time!

Better Sound for Your Laptop Computer

Better Sound for Your Laptop

(J. BUTERA III – DPSPLUGIN.COM)  All of us who own laptops have the same issue; portability vs quality.  Maybe your machine fits nicely in your backpack but you are missing the one key that makes playing your favorite game enjoyable.  Or perhaps your net book is great for email on the go but heats up and shuts down while watching Hulu.  And of course playing music on a laptop always sounds like the conversations you had as a kid over a string and two tin cans.  Well, we’ve been working on that last issue…
