MWW Automotive Group Introduces BONGIOVI Acoustics Car Audio System at SEMA in Las Vegas, Nov. 4-7; Ground-Breaking Technology Brings Studio Quality Sound to Mass-Market Auto Environments

HOWELL, MI, Nov 03, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- MWW Automotive Group (MWWC:MWWC Sponsored by:MWWC), a global design, engineering, and manufacturing firm serving some of the world's leading automotive manufacturers, is introducing the revolutionary Bongiovi Acoustics car audio system, "The Digital Power Station" (DPS), at this year's SEMA show in Las Vegas at Booth #11309 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, from November 4 through November 7, 2008. The DPS will be demonstrated installed in a Toyota Corolla for the ultimate live experience.

The patented "Digital Power Station" (DPS) technology for automobiles was created by Tony Bongiovi, the critically acclaimed engineer and record producer for Bongiovi Acoustics. The DPS represents a ground-breaking and cost-effective way to bring studio quality sound to mass-marketed consumer electronics. The proprietary technology overcomes the existing audio system inefficiencies typically existing in any car environment. DPS breaks down the source material and rebuilds the audio signal in real time for playback in a specific environment by utilizing a series of patented software algorithms that extend frequency response and optimize component performance. It takes into consideration all of the existing audio system's inefficiencies, including speaker design and acoustic environment and maximizes the frequencies that the system can reproduce. This produces significant sonic improvements even with inexpensive car audio systems, resulting in an audio fidelity level typically only found in more expensive systems.

"We are extremely excited about our agreement with Bongiovi Acoustics and AVG Group, which allows us to provide this product to our exclusive customer base," says James Marvin, COO of Marketing Worldwide. "The DPS system will allow our customers in the US and Europe to use less expensive drivers with limited frequency response, to provide premium sound with fewer speakers, or simply to improve existing systems, achieving results typically only found in more expensive car audio systems. We look forward to begin shipping the DPS technology built into the Bongiovi Acoustics KD-S100 radio head unit manufactured by JVC Mobile Electronics immediately."
"Bongiovi Acoustics and AVG Group are happy to partner with MWW Automotive for the distribution of our DPS technology to their roster of customers in the US and Europe," states Ron Simmons, Managing Director of Bongiovi Acoustics. "MWW's team is uniquely qualified to represent our technology to automotive industry leaders around the globe."

Hear The Revolutionary Bongiovi Acoustics Digital Power Station Technology
At The 2007 SEMA Show In Las Vegas


[Ft. Lauderdale, FL. October 29, 2007]-Bongiovi Acoustics www.bongioviacoustics.com and Classic Design Concepts www.classicdesignconcepts.com announced today that the Bongiovi Acoustics KD-S100 car audio system manufactured by JVC Mobile Entertainment will be in an all new custom-built 67 Mustang at the SEMA auto specialty products show. George Huisman, owner of CDC, has combined his passion of the Mustang with superb design vision to create the 67 Flashback. This vehicle is new from the ground up and although the styling cues may shadow the past, the Flashback is loaded with modern amenities, attention to detail and quality, not to mention an engine over 600 horsepower. Huisman partnered with key quality-conscious aftermarket companies to create this all new “Flashback”, which will be available as a complete vehicle through CDC in 2008.

The Flashback’s audio system consists of the revolutionary Bongiovi Acoustics KD-S100 car audio system manufactured by JVC Mobile Entertainment which contains the patented Digital Power Station audio signal processing technology. The Bongiovi Acoustics head unit is custom tuned to optimize the performance of Rockford-Fosgate components and amplifiers.  “This sound system is amazing-I guarantee that no other Mustang sounds even close to this” says Huisman.

“Our unique technology enables us to custom –tune the system to substantially increase the operational envelope of the audio components in any given environment—and we are extremely effective in cars like the Flashback”. Every vehicle has unique sonic characteristics and the Flashback is no different.” said Tony Bongiovi, inventor of the Digital Power Station. “One of the key tasks in custom-tuning the Flashback was to overcome the sound generated by the 600 HP power plant.”

The Flashback/Bongiovi Acoustics Mustang can be seen and heard at the Ford Motor Booth #22300 at SEMA in Las Vegas, October 30-Nov. 2 2007.

The Digital Power Station-enabled Bongiovi Acoustics KD-S100 car audio system manufactured by JVC Mobile Entertainment is being distributed as an aftermarket car audio product and is available nationwide at new car dealerships. This patented technology will soon be available in a wide variety of consumer electronic products under licensing terms to major manufacturers. Visit www.bongioviacoustics.com for more information.

Bongiovi Acoustics Solves MP3 Playback Dilemma

[Ft. Lauderdale, FL. October 24, 2007]-Bongiovi Acoustics, LLC (www.bongioviacoustics.com) announces that it has solved the most critical challenge presented by MP3/MP4 music playback: Poor quality audio as a result of diminished frequency response from compressed audio data files.

Given the limited bandwidth available in consumer electronics, the industry has developed a number of compression (size) algorithms to reduce the time it takes to download & store digital audio and video files. Bits and pieces of the original master recording’s program material are removed in order to reduce the overall size of the data file. For the most part, this process preserves enough of the program material to compress the file while still providing a reasonable listening experience when played through consumer electronics. This is analogous to the process that was used in making vinyl records when the master recording’s frequency response was altered to ‘fit’ as much audio information on the vinyl records as possible.

The compressed digital audio format of MP3/MP4 files further diminishes the frequency response of the audio content by limiting the transient information that would be found in the original master recording.

The patented Bongiovi Acoustics Digital Power Station processor is a groundbreaking achievement in audio technology.  Encoded on a computer chip, the processor can be custom-tuned to maximize the performance of any playback device.  The active processor constantly scans the program material in real time and raises frequency levels to compensate for diminished frequency response. “The result is extended frequency and transient response of the compressed program material and a signal as close to the 0 dbfs reference standard of the master recording as can be achieved” says the technology’s inventor, Tony Bongiovi. “The bottom line is, the listener gets to hear more of the original program material”

This first-of-its kind technology was conceived by Bongiovi, an award-winning recording engineer and producer. Bongiovi fused his expertise in both engineering and record production to break down the wall between what is recorded in the sound studio and what the listener ultimately hears when that sound is reproduced on an audio device. “In non-technical terms, the processor recognizes and addresses program material differences and compensates for those variations” says Bongiovi. “The result is that, in terms of sound quality, older recordings sound as good as new recordings and there are no significant volume differences between channels, audio sources or formats.”

The technology and its application is not limited to MP3 players. “It is particularly effective in instances where audio components and their performance are compromised or limited due to size, weight, portability, playback environment or cost factors,” says Bongiovi Acoustics cofounder Ron Simmons. “The processor is a real breakthrough not only for MP3 players, but for all consumer electronics that produce sound and its ease of implementation in any product is a key feature. These products include car audio systems, computers, cell phones, boom boxes, gaming devices, home theatre systems and flat panel displays”

The Digital Power Station processor is currently available in the Bongiovi Acoustics KD-S100 car audio system manufactured by JVC Mobile Entertainment.  The system is being distributed as an aftermarket car audio product and is available nationwide at new car dealerships.

The technology will soon be available in headphones, IPOD docking stations and many other consumer electronic products under licensing terms to major manufacturers.
