What Bongiovi DPS does

Bongiovi DPS operates as a digital audio processing technology business founded in 2005 and headquartered in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, structured as a subsidiary of Bongiovi Media & Technology, Inc. through its operating entity Bongiovi Acoustics, LLC. The company develops and licenses its patented Digital Power Station (DPS) audio processing technology and a portfolio of related software development kits (SDKs) — including DPS Core SDK, DPS Microphone SDK, V3D SDK (HRTF-based spatial sound), VSUB Virtual Subwoofer, MDPS 0fp SDK for browser/WebRTC, and Windows APO SDK — to business customers in audio equipment manufacturing, gaming, embedded systems/semiconductor, communication and streaming applications, and WebRTC application development.

The technology stack is built from a unified C codebase exposing cross-platform C/C++ libraries targeting Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and embedded targets, with companion tooling including DPS Profile Creator 2.0 for BGPS profile authoring, BongioviNR for noise reduction configuration, and the Bongiovi Config UI. Founder Tony Bongiovi's recording industry background informs the algorithmic approach to dynamic equalization and psychoacoustic optimization, and the company markets itself as drawing on 50+ years of recording industry expertise.

The business model is B2B SDK licensing, with revenue streams from SDK licensing, BGPS profile licensing, and professional services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, no named customer logos are available, and the only disclosed capital event on record is a $472,500 funding round dated February 2014 from undisclosed investors. Publicly visible personnel are limited to founder Tony Bongiovi, CTO Joe Butera III, and Manager of VR and Gaming Mark Harpster, indicating a small operating organization.

Core offering

Bongiovi DPS develops and licenses patented Digital Power Station (DPS) audio processing technology and V3D HRTF-based spatial sound through a family of software development kits (DPS Core SDK, DPS Microphone SDK, V3D SDK, Windows APO SDK, MDPS 0fp SDK) to audio equipment OEMs, gaming peripheral manufacturers, and embedded system developers. The technology is delivered as cross-platform C/C++ libraries covering output processing (equalization, dynamic range control, virtual bass), input processing (AI noise reduction, voice effects), and binaural spatial audio, with professional tuning tools (DPS Profile Creator 2.0, BongioviNR, Bongiovi Config UI) for device-specific calibration.

Product overview

Bongiovi DPS offers a comprehensive audio processing technology portfolio centered on its patented Digital Power Station (DPS) technology and V3D Spatial Sound. The core offering consists of two main technologies: DPS provides audio output optimization (equalization, dynamic range control, virtual bass, stereo enhancement) while V3D delivers HRTF-based spatial audio for precise sound localization. These technologies are delivered through multiple SDK packages (DPS Core SDK for output, DPS Microphone SDK for input, V3D SDK for spatial audio, Windows APO SDK for Windows integration, and MDPS 0fp for browser-based WebRTC applications). Development and tuning tools include DPS Profile Creator 2.0 for audio engineers and BongioviNR for microphone noise reduction. BongioviNR provides real-time AI noise reduction for gaming and streaming while DPS Profile Creator offers full parameter access for all algorithm components across platforms.
