Frequently asked questions.

What is Dirac Live?

Dirac Live is a digital room calibration solution designed to optimize your sound systems and counterbalance the challenges presented by the room’s acoustic properties. It optimises the audio by compensating for distortions caused by the acoustics of your room. It addresses issues like reflections, resonances, and phase alignment, resulting in clearer and more accurate audio across the entire listening area.

When integrated with an AVR, Dirac Live measures the acoustic characteristics of your space using a calibrated microphone, analyzing how sound interacts with the room. It then adjusts the speaker’s output to ensure that the sound is balanced and true-to-source, regardless of the room’s shape, size, or materials. This process includes aligning the timing and phase of all speakers, including subwoofers, to provide a cohesive, immersive sound field—something that would be impossible to achieve with just speaker placement alone.

Contrary to basic EQ systems that mainly flatten the frequency response, Dirac Live corrects both the frequency and impulse response. This means it not only addresses tonal balance but also ensures that transient sounds (like a clap or a drum hit) are reproduced cleanly without smearing or delay. With its capability to adjust for phase issues between speaker drivers and align subwoofers, Dirac Live creates a more accurate and immersive audio experience that feels more natural and more true to the recording​. By using Dirac Live with an AVR (or other device), you’re essentially enhancing the potential of your sound system to perform as it would in an acoustically perfect environment, making the sound more realistic and detailed, even in challenging spaces​.

How does Room Correction work?

Room correction technology works by analyzing the acoustic properties of a room, such as size, shape, and any objects that might affect sound waves. Using a microphone to measure sound output, Dirac Live identifies anomalies and distortions. Then, it adjusts the audio output of speakers to counteract these irregularities, ensuring a balanced and true-to-source sound reproduction.
