The iW1 is a member of our iHome Studio Series and features Bongiovi Acoustics DPS (Digital Power Station), representing a genuine 
breakthrough in audio processing.  This unique and powerful prossesor, years in the making, was developed by a team of audio engineers 
that have over 40 years of experience in the music and motion picture recording industries.  Audio is digitally restored in real time, adding 
missing harmonics, improving clarity, presence, and bass resonance.  Your music comes alive in ways never before possible.

The Bongiovi DPS function is on by default and can only be turned off or on with the IR remote.  Front Status LED will flash Green when DSP 
is turned OFF or ON via the remote.
