Why City Profiles?

So perhaps you have looked in the Settings page of the Bongiovi DPS app and wondered why there are a list of Cities under a menu called Headphones?  Allow us to explain...

What is a DPS Profile?

The DPS sound enhancer uses a system of “Profiles” which contain settings that optimize audio for a specific device or a range of devices. Each device, whether it is your built-in speaker, your iPod dock, or your earbuds have very different audio capabilities. The DPS technology uses information in the profile to re-master audio in real-time to suit your listening device.  Each profile is created by hand by Bongiovi Acoustics audio engineers who have years of experience recording music and making the movie soundtracks you enjoy.  We do the hard audio work so you don't have to!

Why City Profiles?

We understand you may have a listening device that is not in the default profile list or on the Bongiovi Acoustics website.  That is why we created the City profiles so you may take the DPS Road Trip.  Each City profile works very well on a wide range of devices including all types of headphones or earbuds as well as iPod docks and mobile speakers.  Try them all...your ears will know which one to call home.  Listening to music is a personal emotional experience.  You know you have chosen the right profile when that experience is better for YOU!

Where can I download more Profiles?

New profiles may be added to your device via the Bongiovi Acoustics website.  Just touch the profile you want then select "Open in Bongiovi DPS".  The profile will then be available in all "Paid" profile lists.

How can I get DPS sound on my laptop or home theater PC?

The DPS audio enhancer is available as a plug-in for Mac and Windows.  All versions are available here with a free trial period.
