Swedish acoustic audio company Dirac, has announced that Dirac Live Active Room Treatment is now available in the Dirac Live Processor.
Dirac Live Processor is a virtual audio processor for PC and Mac that applies room correction to audio before it reaches the sound system. It gives listeners a new way to measure and optimize their room and system performance through software-alone and the computer they already own, including in audio systems where Dirac Live is not built in. With support for VST, VST3, AAX, and AU plug-in formats, it can also be used in compatible DAWs and media players as part of an existing computer-based playback setup, such as in a studio.
Over the past twelve months, Dirac has expanded access to Dirac Live Active Room Treatment through a growing range of home audio collaborations and integrations, with leading brands such as AudioControl, Denon, Marantz, miniDSP, Monoprice, and StormAudio. Dirac Live Processor now extends that access to PC and Mac, creating a new path for listeners who want room acoustics optimization through a software-based approach and without the purchase of new hardware.
With this launch, Dirac Live Processor now supports the full Dirac Live portfolio: Dirac Live Room Correction, Dirac Live Bass Control, and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment. Together, these solutions position Dirac Live Processor as the home for Dirac Live on PC and Mac, giving listeners one place to access Dirac’s full suite of room acoustics technologies.
“Active Room Treatment is the most advanced room acoustics work we’ve done, and Dirac Live Processor is how we bring it to PCs and Macs,” said Nilo Casimiro Ericsson, Product Manager for Dirac Live. “Starting today, anyone can install the program on their PC or Mac and hear the difference Dirac Live Active Room Treatment can make to their sound system, in their own room.”
Dirac Live Room Correction analyzes how a room and speaker setup affect the interaction between sound and space, then applies corrections that improve timing, phase alignment, frequency response, imaging, and tonal balance. Dirac Live Bass Control optimizes low-frequency performance across subwoofers and speakers to deliver smoother, more consistent bass throughout the listening space.
With the addition of Active Room Treatment, Dirac Live Processor now supports Dirac’s most complete approach to room acoustics management. Active Room Treatment builds on Dirac Live Room Correction by using the full speaker array as a coordinated acoustic system, actively helping control room resonances and sound decay to deliver a cleaner, more controlled soundstage with greater clarity, detail, and focus.
Setup is completed by connecting a measurement microphone to the user’s computer. The software guides the room measurement process, analyzes room and system behavior, and helps create filters tailored to the listening environment.
Active Room Treatment is now available on Dirac Live Processor. Existing users of Dirac Live Room Correction Suite will automatically be transitioned to Dirac Live Processor together with their current licenses and settings. Licenses can be purchased with an optional 14-day free trial at www.dirac.com.
