So, A while ago I wrote a blog about my experience moving out of state and how the digital realm influenced my move. I am somewhat settled now. Naturally, My TV setup was absolutely essential in getting back to life again! Above you will see how streamlined my setup has become. TV, Blu-Ray Player, Computer with Wireless Keyboard/Mouse and the iHome iP1. The iP1 is an older studio series docking station from iHome. It is already pre-loaded with DPS. However, I find it to be all I need for sound. They are easy to find cheap online now. I highly recommend it. If you have a newer iPod or iPhone device you can dock it right on it. I have an Samsung Galaxy S phone that I just plug in the 1/8 inch output in the back when I want to listen to stuff on my phone. So there are a lot of options here. If you are an iPhone user you can get the Bongiovi DPS iOS App for Free and process the signal twice! I also like to plug in my laptop to the TV. Now that I have all the sound coming out of the iP1 I like to use the (PC Version) DPS Plug-In to process the iP1 twice. This is also available to try for FREE! I use my setup this way for many reasons. Sound quality and space being the big ones. So try these great options to make an affordable home theater situation that saves on space as well! Any one of these options could be a great Holiday Gift option as well! I will be posting some video and/or pics on how I have connected things soon. Happy Holidays!

I am Joseph Beaty. Musician and social network nerd for all things DPS. I had been based out of Florida and recently decided to relocate to upstate New York with my wife, Liz. Here is a picture we took as we were entering our new town.
Thanks to the glorious inter-webs, I am able to do my work from anywhere. Great perk of having a blog and social net type job. (more…)

Economic times are tough. Over the years we have seen Apple grow as a company because of Steve Jobs and his team’s innovations. We have witnessed enormous growth from the Macintosh in 84′ to the iPad 2 in 2011. Our desires to be connected as a people along with the brilliantly simple marketing Apple has pioneered has changed the way we do things on a daily basis. While I sit back and read the many articles popping up around the web, I can’t help but think about the one thing that seems most relevant. Steve Jobs has created jobs! Bongiovi Acoustics creates software solutions like the DPS Plug-In to enhance the iTunes and Mac experience. We work with iHome which makes docking stations (most recently the iW1 Airplay) that house Apple products. These things are what hit home for us. Think of the thousands of companies that are influenced by Apple products. The families those jobs feed. Yeah I have an iPod and the next guy has the iPad 2, but we cannot forget the legacy that sticks in the heart of families and individuals the world over. Steve Jobs and Apple will continue to create jobs. Thank you Steve for doing what you have done for Bongiovi Acoustics and the world. You are alive in us all. -Joseph Beaty, DPS Insider/Bongiovi Acoustics.
Steve Jobs 1955-2011
