Dirac Live
Room Correction
The world’s most advanced room correction system, designed to analyse your room’s acoustics and tune your sound for optimal performance. Dirac Live is available on AVRs, streamers, and active speakers from leading brands.
What’s room correction?
The weakest link in your audio setup is often your room. Its shape, size, and surfaces can distort sound with unwanted reflections, resonances, and delays, no matter how good your equipment is. Room correction solves this by tailoring your system’s output to overcome these acoustic challenges, delivering balanced and accurate sound wherever you listen.
What you get with Dirac Live.
Crystal-clear audio.
Eliminate unwanted echoes and distortions for pristine sound that stays true to the original recording.
Deep, natural bass.
Experience bass as it’s meant to be heard – tight, controlled, and without resonances.
A bigger sweet spot.
Enjoy balanced and immersive audio, no matter where you sit.
Precision performance.
Timing is everything. Dirac Live is the only room correction solution that addresses timing issues.
Dirac was an ear-opener, the proof was in the listening, and it was delicious.
For music listening, it’s not even close. I’m for Dirac all the way.
Ultimately, Dirac is an audio tweaker’s paradise.

Frequently asked questions.
Dirac Live is a digital room calibration solution designed to optimise 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.
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.
