'Seven years ago, we introduced the world to Dirac Live, which marked a breakthrough in digital room correction and has since become the industry’s reference solution,” Thorin stated. Īccording to Niklas Thorin, Dirac General Manager of High Performance Audio, the new Dirac Live Bass Management Module is a best-in-class product that further solidifies Dirac as the market’s leading one-stop source for home theater digital audio optimization solutions.

Dirac will debut the new module at CES 2019 in Dirac’s Westgate Suite #630. The breakthrough solution leverages a proprietary approach to subwoofer system optimization to produce far smoother and tighter bass than existing solutions, which oftentimes sound muddied and smeared. UPPSALA, SWEDEN, DecemSwedish sound pioneer Dirac Research today announced its all-new Dirac Live Bass Management Module that improves bass performance and provides the most sophisticated, easy-to-use multi-subwoofer optimization solution for both consumers and professional technology integrators. Wish I had known some of this before I shelled out! Of course it can, but the associated software license is personal and cannot be transferred. Had it not burdened me with the attenuation I might have seriously considered the Dirac for music.Īlso, the unit can't be sold.

The sound is probably better probably because I need some correction in the 300-500Hz range, which MRC can't do. I like to listen to music loud, and with the Dirac, even 99 is not adequate. The overall feeling I have i that the 12-15dB attenuation makes the Dirac unviable for me. However it operates in the entire 20-20 range. The Dirac generates filters to bring the output as close to the response curve as possible. One has to set a response curve, and that's all one can do. There is no scope to fiddle at filter level with the Dirac. But net effect is that the energy level drops dramatically.Ģ. Probably they use boost filters also instead of the MRC's cut only approach. This cut is in place even if filters are bypassed. The Dirac drops the output level by a massive amount. I have created two paths for my Sonos - First, Sonos RCA -> 861v8 (MRC) -> 8k, and Second, Sonos Optical -> Dirac -> 861v8 No MRC -> 8k2. I got a Stereo Dirac recently, and have done the measurements etc.
