Dirac has announced a new auto target curve functionality for its Dirac Live solution that will make it easier for consumers to get even better audio quality from their sound systems.
Taking away the requirement for consumers to have in-depth knowledge about room correction, the Dirac Live solution will now automatically generate an auto target curve based on a specific sound system’s unique measurements.
“Many of the first uses of Dirac Live, more than a decade ago, were in cinemas or high-end home theatres, where experts calibrated and tuned sound systems using Dirac Live,” explained Jakob Ågren, head of product management at Dirac. “But that’s no longer the case. With more mass-market AVRs now offering our breakthrough solution, Dirac Live has gone mainstream.
“However, when addressing this new, larger audience, it became clear that attaining the optimal sound experience should be as easy as possible. Our new auto target curve eliminates the need for manual adjustments, allowing new users to sit back and enjoy superior sound.”
The new auto target curve more faithfully reflects the inherent character of the measured system, minus the adverse acoustic effects of the room. It gives users a balanced response with a more natural slope, creating more genuine listening experiences.
Users can manually adjust the auto target curve should further tweaking be required through a new simplified interface in the Dirac Live mobile app. They can simply drag a sound region up or down to increase or decrease its volume. The popular classic filter design will also still be available.
Dirac’s new auto target curve is available first through the Dirac Live app, with the company announcing desktop functionality later this year.
With a new update, the Dirac Live app has simplified its measuring and adjustment processes to now require fewer steps for users to complete.
