It’s extremely common now for clients to ask for music to be played from a playlist coming out of his or her own iPod or iPhone. And, playing that on a high-end audio system in most staging events, well, sucks.

Well, now there’s a Swedish company called Dirac that claims that if you use the company’s iOS App to play the music, you’ll get high-quality audio our of an iPhone or iPod. Dirac Research’s app for Apple iOS devices, called the Dirac HD Player, claims to optimize the acoustic properties and overall performance of the standard iPhone and iPod touch sound. Interestingly enough, the company is aiming it for people who listen to iPhone audio from cheap earbuds, but the technology’s best benefit is for live-audio applications in rental and staging markets where you want better sound for only $3.

The app is only $2.99 and you can read all about it here.
