2010 DJ

Joseph Beaty — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 13:00:02 +0000

What is it to be a DJ in 2010? It must be a very different time. There are many definitions of what a DJ is from state to state and town to town. Seattle might have more of an indie dance focus while Miami is very Latin and hip hop. Detroit might spin vinyl while Chicago mixes iPods together. No matter what people like to hear a good beat. A vocal that sticks in your mind. People love to dance. Whether it be in a club or letting Pandora do the work. The DPS Insider invites DJ’s to share their personal tricks and tools of the trade here with the DPS Forum community. How is being a DJ in 2010 different for you? How does technology change the way people view a DJ? The community would love to hear a DJ’s perspective. The DPS Insider will be featuring more content focused on the DJ realm. Stay plugged in.

Thinking Green

Joseph Beaty — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:30:35 +0000

So many of us try to do our part and think green. Seems like a cliche kind of term huh? I am guessing it depends on what thinking green means to each of us. One person might think that thinking green is just recycling. Another might go through their entire neighborhood with a waste basket and pick up all the trash they see on the ground. We think about software based companies that have no physical waste from their products. This is certainly thinking green without even having to think a whole lot about it. We all live in a world that moves fast. Once in a while we should all ask ourselves, How am I thinking green? – Joe Beaty

Joe Butera here. I’m jumping on this post to talk a little about Bongiovi Acoustics’ contribution to being Earth-Friendly. I know it always sounds like hype when a company talks about green-ness but it is worth mentioning that the DPS Technology does contribute to less waste. For instance, in car audio applications, by installing our technology instead of a conventional audio upgrade (new speakers, amps etc.) you are keeping the weight of your vehicle down (better fuel economy) AND not throwing away your old, but perfectly good, speakers. The DPS technology also allows for the use of lighter or unconventional materials for audio reproduction. By eliminating more raw materials from any system waste is reduced, efficiency can be gained and our environmental impact can diminish…even if it is just a little. If everyone is able to reduce/reuse/recycle just a bit, a huge effect can be felt.

Bongiovi Acoustics launches DPS Plug-In for Mac

Bongiovi Acoustics, developers of the patented Digital Power Station™ (DPS) audio enhancement technology announced that it has introduced a new DPS Plug-In for iTunes. Released initially for Mac OS X users, it dramatically enhances the sound of any Mac computer, as well as its connected speakers, headphones and other auxiliary accessories. Available now, the DPS Plug-In can be sampled for free and purchased for $29.99 at www.dpsplugin.com. It’s designed for Mac users of all levels from first time neophytes to dyed-in-the-wool techies who spend nearly every waking moment in front of their computer screens.

The company plans to release the DPS System Wide Plug-In for Windows users soon. This version will optimize audio from any source on the PC.

The DPS Plug-In improves the brightness and clarity of compressed audio files (mp3, AAC, etc.) while providing richer, deeper bass response. It analyzes the audio signal in real-time and optimizes it for play back through the user’s audio system. It also compensates for differences in volume between songs and enhances dialogue and sound effects for music, movies, television, streaming video and podcasts. If it’s coming through iTunes, it will be dramatically better.

DPS is a 100% active digital processing method that analyzes the incoming audio signal and remixes it in real time for optimized playback on a particular device. Instead of using complex audio controls, the DPS is operated via a user-friendly “profile” system. Each profile contains settings for over 120 calibration points that are custom tuned by Bongiovi Acoustics sound engineers for the intended playback device. Users can easily optimize their own system by selecting custom profiles from Bongiovi’s expanding catalog.

Whether listening to internal speakers on your own computer, your favorite headphones, or external speaker devices connected to your Mac, the DPS Plug-In will provide state-of-the-art digital audio technology. Bongiovi Acoustics Managing Director Ron Simmons said, “The launch of the DPS Plug-In is the next step in our mission to bring studio-quality sound to everyday consumer electronics. Millions of Mac owners can significantly upgrade their audio system with a simple download and now they can custom tune their audio to their own listening tastes using our innovative profile system. It’s all about empowering the customer. We have the unique ability to immediately respond to their requests via our DPS user forums and create new tuning profiles.”

According to Bongiovi Acoustics’ Phil Fuller, VP Engineering/ Technology “We have unique control over the entire frequency spectrum of the program material which means that we can create specific custom profiles that give users freedom of choice to deliver studio-quality sound to their particular playback device, whether it is a MacBook Pro 17″, iMac G5, Apple ear buds or your desktop speakers. We have different profiles for various types of headphones and home entertainment systems. We are all about maximizing the user’s listening experience, regardless of what the playback device is or what its limitations are.”

Audio and Video Health

Joseph Beaty — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:13:55 +0000

So I have a bit of a cold. My head is pulsing and my chest is tight with what I am sure looks like radioactive goo. I will spare the gruesome details and get to the point. Many of my friends are sick in their listening environments. Myself included. We often don’t realize what you are missing until someone shows you the way. I learn something new everyday from the guys that post on the DPS Insider here. Home audio and video can be a pain to setup. So many of us hook it up so it works and that is that. Our team is curious on how you are listening and viewing at home. What are some of the products you use? (Blu-Ray, etc.) How do you have them placed and hooked up? (speakers, sub-woofer,etc) So that we might offer our expertise and/or learn a thing or two. Post your symptoms and we will diagnose your home audio and video environment right here on http://dpsinsider.com.
