Swedish audio innovator Dirac has announced that its groundbreaking Dirac Live Active Room Treatment (ART) solution is now available on a range of Denon and Marantz AV receivers and preamplifiers. This advanced technology, designed to deliver studio-grade precision, is now accessible on all Denon and Marantz models currently equipped with Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control, enabling users to achieve unparalleled low-frequency spatial correction and elevate their home audio experience.
Compatible Models
In North America, compatible Denon models include the AVR-A1H, AVR-A10H, AVR-X6800H, AVR-X4800H, and AVR-X3800H. In Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, these are designated as the AVC-A1H, AVC-A10H, AVC-X6800H, AVC-X4800H, and AVC-X3800H. Marantz models supporting Dirac Live ART include the AV10, AV20, CINEMA 30, CINEMA 40, and CINEMA 50.
A New Standard in Audio Precision
“Dirac Live ART unlocks an entirely new level of performance for Denon and Marantz systems,” said Fredric Tapper, Dirac’s Vice President and Head of Business Development. “As two of the most trusted and widely adopted brands in home theater and audio, Denon and Marantz are among the first to feature this breakthrough technology, bringing studio-grade precision and innovation to a broader audience.”
Introduced in 2023, Dirac Live ART is a professional-grade addition to the Dirac Live platform, building on the foundation of Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control. While Room Correction optimizes the magnitude and phase response for balanced, transparent sound, and Bass Control enhances subwoofer performance, ART takes audio precision further by transforming every speaker in a system into a cohesive unit that actively manages bass resonances in the critical 20-150 Hz range.
Revolutionary Bass Management
“By enabling every speaker to work in unison to control and smooth low frequencies, Dirac Live ART delivers bass that is tighter, more articulate, and consistent across the entire listening area,” Tapper continued. “Whether in a purpose-built theater or an open living room, it elevates the system into a precisely tuned environment where every note and detail comes through with greater clarity and impact.”
Powered by Dirac’s patented MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, Dirac Live ART reduces reverberation times and ensures smooth, consistent bass across all listening positions, even in challenging or asymmetrical room layouts. This level of performance, which traditionally requires extensive physical acoustic treatments, is now achievable through advanced digital signal processing.
A Game-Changer for Home Audio
Dirac Live ART redefines home theater and audio performance by delivering studio-quality sound without the need for costly room modifications. By precisely aligning phase and controlling the sound field in real time, this technology ensures that Denon and Marantz users can experience bass that is not only powerful but also exceptionally clear and evenly distributed.
For audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts, the integration of Dirac Live ART into Denon and Marantz AV receivers represents a significant leap forward, offering a level of sonic precision that brings every detail to life.
