What it is

Active Room Treatment (ART) is our most advanced audio correction technology. It unites all the speakers in your system to manage the acoustic challenges of your room — without relying on physical tools like panels or diffusers.

Ideal for

Home Hi-Fi Audio Systems
Home Theatres
Music Studios

What it does

ART goes one step further than simply correcting audio. It uses the strengths of each speaker to create an ideal sound field, where negative effects like resonances are blocked before they even occur.

The main benefits

A cleaner, more controlled soundstage.
Improved clarity, detail, and focus.

Key features

Advanced Sound Field Control
ART combines your existing speakers into an optimised system, where each speaker actively contributes to the ideal sound field for your space.
Full Spatial Correction
Corrections respond to the distinct size and shape of your room, actively using each speaker to compensate for audible defects.
No Physical Treatment
ART provides many of the same benefits as panels and diffusers, without changing how your room looks.
Multi-Speaker Processing
The algorithm treats your speaker array as a collaborative system, sharing playback and optimisation data in real time.
Decay Time Management
ART ensures sound doesn’t linger for as long in your room, improving clarity and preventing muddiness.
Enhances Room Correction
ART builds on Dirac Live’s Room Correction functionality, taking it to the next level.

The details

How to calibrate and set it up
1. Desktop calibration
First, you gather data related to your space using the Dirac Live app, along with a measurement mic. ART then specifically analyses how sound reflects and decays in your room.
2. Filters applied to audio device 
ART configures your system to generate cancellation signals using all available speakers. These signals are applied in real time during playback, requiring no changes to your room or decor.
Options available
Dirac Live Active Room Treatment can be run:
Directly from your audio device - after creating filters with the Dirac Calibration tool, they will be automatically applied by your device for a seamless experience.
Technical requirements
ART requires Dirac Live Room Correction to run.

If you have subwoofers, you will also need Bass Control to gain full use of ART.

ART can only be run directly on compatible devices.
