UNLIMITED SUBS.
$499 NOW $299.
Bass Control eliminates variations between listening positions and allows for smooth, even bass distribution throughout your room. Enjoy a deep, punchy bass no matter how you position of your subwoofers.
Automatic subwoofer setup and management.
Setting up subwoofers is a time-consuming, imprecise science. Dirac Live Bass Control co-optimises subwoofers and the other speakers to significantly improve the blend between subwoofers and full-range speakers around the crossover area. Eliminate seat-to-seat sound variation and gives you all the bass you want, without the reflections and boominess you don’t.
Flexible placement.
Whether your system has a single or multiple subwoofers, Dirac Live Bass Control makes sure that every listening experience is optimized like never before.
What you get with Bass Control.
Consistent response anywhere.
Low-frequency wavelengths can reverberate in your room for a very long time. Bass Control mitigates this effect by redistributing bass across the listening area.
Bass management on multiple subwoofers.
Bass Control uses machine learning to quickly determine the ideal settings for multiple subwoofers and can apply filters automatically to streamline the process.
Co-optimising speaker and subwoofer.
Bass Control co-optimises subwoofers and speakers to significantly improve the blend between them around the crossover area.
Flexible subwoofer placement.
Whether a system is using a single subwoofer or multiple subwoofers in a complex room, Bass Control ensures that every listening experience is optimised like never before.
How Dirac Live Bass Control works.
Dirac Live Bass Control introduces an automated method for controlling the bass characteristics of a sound system at multiple listening locations.
Dirac Live Bass Control adds automatic calibration and filter adjustments from any number of subwoofers. It uses machine learning and AI to quickly determine the ideal settings for multiple subwoofers and automatically apply filters. This technique dramatically simplifies a procedure that could otherwise take several days to complete to the same standard.
Sound frequency basics.
Modern full-range speakers combine a woofer and tweeter to reproduce the full range of audible frequencies. Subwoofers are often added to enhance the low bass. The subwoofers will only produce sounds lower than the frequency set by the system’s onboard low-pass filter – typically offering selectable cutoff points from 30Hz to 120Hz. These low-frequency wavelengths must be treated differently than higher frequencies with respect to interference and room resonances.

What is the time-domain, and why is it important?
At Dirac, we believe that the reproduction of transients is critical for a truly natural and transparent sound. For example, the stereo image is critically dependent on the time-domain differences and similarities between the sound at the left ear and the right ear. As such, Dirac’s impulse response correction improves the depth, the positioning and distinction of individual voices and instruments.

Mixed-phase room correction technology
Using a look-ahead buffer enables impulse response correction Minimum-phase and linear-phase room correction filters can’t physically optimize the acoustic impulse response in a room. At best, they can minimize problems caused by the application of a filter. Room-acoustic responses are non-minimum-phase, which is why Dirac Live® uses mixed-phase correction. Dirac Live is unique in that it improves the impulse response throughout the listening area, not just in a particular zone.
