Dirac Live Room Correction

Cutting-edge digital room correction technology improves overall sound performance across the entire frequency band without additional upgrades. Dirac Live automatically calibrates the sound in your room using either a smartphone and the included wired microphone, or virtually wirelessly with the Dirac Live PC or MacOS* application and a third-party USB microphone (not included). Dirac Live unlocks the full potential of your speakers in any listening space, providing a unique, pristine listening experience. Now you get more accurate measurement of your Surround Sound system's positions for greater precision and balance, and a better result, with the upper limit of latency increased from 20 milliseconds to 50 milliseconds.
