Voices should be the easiest thing to hear. Yet in many rooms they feel buried, thin, sharp, or strangely distant. When you feel you need to turn up the volume you know the sound is off.

In normal rooms, early reflections from walls, floors and ceilings arrive fractions of a second after the direct sound. These timing errors cause transient smearing and comb filtering, which blur detail and mask the frequency range where speech intelligibility lives.

Dirac Live measures how sound actually arrives at the listening position and corrects both timing and tonal errors, restoring clarity, focus and natural presence to voices.

Low frequencies feel inconsistent. Some notes dominate while others almost vanish. Bass energy lingers in the room, bleeding into midrange detail and reducing impact.

Room dimensions create standing waves and modal resonances that exaggerate certain bass notes and cancel others. What you hear is not what your system is producing, but what your room is distorting.

Dirac Live analyses how bass behaves in your space and corrects both level and decay problems, producing low end that goes deeper, hits cleaner and stops when it should.

Instead of a defined soundstage, you hear a wall of sound. Instruments blur together. Depth is shallow. Everything seems to come from the speakers rather than existing in space.

When frequency imbalance and timing misalignment dominate what reaches your ears, the micro timing cues that define localisation and depth are masked. The room flattens the sound before it ever has a chance to form.

By correcting impulse response, phase behaviour and frequency balance, Dirac Live preserves spatial detail, restoring separation, depth and a stable three dimensional soundstage.
