Global Delight Technologies Boom 1.1

Although the built-in speakers on Macs have improved over the years, volume (or lack thereof) continues to be an issue. Watching a movie on your MacBook Pro might be less enjoyable that it could if you’re straining to hear what the characters are saying, for example.

Global Delight Technologies’ Boom 1.1 attempts to solve the volume problem by boosting the Mac’s output volume systemwide.

Boom works in two ways. The first is to boost the volume of, and/or apply EQ settings to, whatever you hear on your Mac. That can be music or video in iTunes or another player application, YouTube videos, iChat/FaceTime/Skype chats, or anything else.

When you install Boom, it adds a menu-bar item that includes a volume slider similar to the one in Apple’s own volume item. When Boom is activated, the knob on the slider displays a blue dot in the middle (it’s gray otherwise) and the menu-bar item itself gives you an indication of the volume level (again, similar to Apple’s item). At the bottom of the slider is a button—click it and the full Boom interface appears.

The interface defaults to the Customize window, which offers two sections. At the top you’ll find a Boom Volume switch to turn volume boosting on or off, and a horizontal volume slider. Underneath that is an EQ section, with a Equalizer on/off switch; a pop-up menu with built-in presets for Flat, Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Soft, Loud, Music, Vocals, and Movie, as well as any custom presets you’ve created; and a 10-band equalizer. You can turn the volume and EQ functions on and off individually, so even if you don’t need extra volume, you can take advantage of systemwide EQ adjustments, for example.

I tried Boom with an iChat video chat, because the speakers on my MacBook Pro often aren’t loud enough to hear people on the other end if there’s any other noise happening. I was surprised to find that Boom didn’t work at all with iChat’s volume in my test. Then I found out that I had to change the sound output setting in the Audio/Video section of iChat’s preferences to BoomDevice. After I did that, the volume boost feature worked as expected.

The other method for using Boom is altering files on your Mac, so they retain their extra-volume goodness when you copy them to your iPhone, say. To do so, you open Boom and click on Boost File at the bottom of the window. From there, you can drag and drop music or video files into the main window, or click on the the plus (+) sign to choose either items from your iTunes library or general files on your hard drive.
