TO REALIZE TRUE STUDIO QUALITY SOUND YOU SHOULD LISTEN WITH THE DIGITAL POWER STATION™ ENGAGED AT ALL TIMES.

You may notice a volume difference when the Digital Power Station™ is not engaged. This radio is custom tuned to maximize the performance of your car’s audio system with the processor engaged. The volume difference is a result of the custom profile that is specifically calibrated for your car and is necessary to optimize your system’s performance while the Digital Power Station™ signal processor is engaged. Our powerful processor scans, recognizes and reproduces multiple types of delivery systems ( CD’s, MP3 files, vinyl transfers, AM radio, FM radio, satellite radio, WMA files) with full studio quality sound and without annoying volume changes between signal sources. If we were back in the 1960’s, where the predominant music delivery system was the vinyl record only, you would not hear such a volume difference.

VIRTUAL SUBWOOFER™

Your bass response will be noticeably improved via our Virtual Subwoofer™ technology. We digitally create an array of sound that produces a result as if a subwoofer were installed in the vehicle.

The Bongiovi Acoustics Digital Power Station™ is not tuned by the end user. The tuning process (we call it vehicle profiling) is extremely complex and comprehensive, with over 120 algorithm calibration points. There is no “auto calibration” setup by the user or Bongiovi Acoustics engineers and there are no active adjustments made to the Digital Power Station™ through the use of microphones placed in the cabin. The end user simply engages or disengages the processor by pushing a button and we recommend that you always listen with the processor in the on position. You may use the treble and bass controls to fine tune the system to suit your individual taste.

The Bongiovi Digital Power Station™ is tuned by Bongiovi Acoustics engineers using standard engineering practices in test vehicles supplied by the automobile manufactures. This software tuning database (vehicle profile) is then supplied to the distributor who programs each radio before delivery to the end user.

The Bongiovi Digital Power Station™ does take into consideration the acoustic characteristics of each vehicle under different conditions. During the tuning process we test drive the vehicle to make sure the sound is optimized for all conditions. In fact, when we tune convertible vehicles we actually tune the vehicle while it is in motion with the top down to optimize the listening experience.

No. The process cannot be added to any existing car stereo. Our Digital Power Station™ algorithm must be inserted in the signal chain at a precise location; such is the case of our JVC designed radio. We can, however, support any type of digital signal processor in virtually any consumer electronic device.

NO. When we set a particular vehicle’s profile we actually monitor each listening position and make adjustments to optimize the listening experience in any position in the cabin.

The installation takes only minutes and is done at your car dealership.

Each custom profile is installed by an authorized Bongiovi Acoustics distributor. The code is downloaded in less than 2 minutes.

NO. There is transient protection built into the Digital Power Station™. The processed signal is calibrated to operate within the design specifications of the speakers. In fact it is specifically calibrated to maximize the performance characteristics of the speakers.

We utilize a method known as “acoustic coupling”. We acoustically couple the low frequency component of a vehicle’s existing speaker installation. This produces the amazing low-end response in your vehicle.

We have already set custom profiles over 150 cars and continue to add more every day. Check our website: www.bongioviacoustics.com for an updated vehicle profile list.

The radio is available only at quality automobile dealerships nationwide. We are adding dealers every day so visit our website for locations near you.

The following is a rudimentary explanation of how Bongiovi Acoustics engineers bring studio quality sound to your vehicle:

First, a brief history lesson: Throughout the years recording technologies and techniques have vastly improved, allowing extended frequency response and dynamic range to be introduced to the program material and playback environment. Today’s digital recordings are much different than those recorded in the 40’s, and today’s playback medium is vastly different than vinyl records of the 50’s-80’s and CD’s in the 90’s.

Bongiovi Acoustics Digital Power Station™ technology uniquely addresses the issue of recorded sound techniques. For example, many of today’s modern digital recordings are made up of computer generated sounds. Up until the introduction of digital technology, all music since the beginning of time was created and/or recorded acoustically. Even an electric guitar was recorded acoustically via amplifier or microphone.

The sophisticated Digital Power Station™ processor recognizes the difference between all of the various types of recordings. It constantly scans the program material in real time, looks for deficiencies in frequency response and actively compensates for any anomalies in the source material.

The result is a linear presentation of the program material creating a balanced frequency response in every source material introduced to the playback device.

Utilizing accepted engineering standards & practices we complete the following evaluation & profiling of the vehicle.

First we introduce pink noise into the vehicle compartment. We then perform a 1/3 octave analysis on each speaker, its enclosure and its location. This provides us with a precise algorithm relative to the speaker performance characteristics.

Next, we use pink noise to do a 1/3 octave analysis at each listening position to measure the performance of the “system”. This provides us with another precise algorithm relative to the vehicles interior. Note: We actually take certain acoustic anomalies of the passenger compartment and utilize them to optimize the listening experience.

Next we calibrate each channel. This calibration includes active frequency gain amplification and passive equalization and represents 120 fine tuning adjustments.

Next, we do a combined analysis of the vehicle’s acoustics relative to the system’s performance. Each vehicle has its own acoustic characteristics which are directly related to the cabin dimensions and design.

Next, we fine tune the system by listening to specific program material that our engineers are intimately familiar with.

We then combine the results of these tests to formulate the precise programming of the Digital Power Station™ processor. The end result is studio quality sound for each specific make, model, & year of vehicle.
