Dirac has delivered Dirac Live Bass Control for select Denon and Marantz receivers and preamplifiers to bring exceptional low-frequency control for single and multi-subwoofer home theatre setups.

The integration of Dirac Live Bass Control follows Dirac Live Room Correction’s March 2023 availability on several Denon and Marantz units. The expansion will be a testament to Dirac’s desire to continue pushing the boundaries of home theatre audio, according to Dirac consumer and e-commerce vice president Rikard Hellerfelt.

“The integration of Dirac Live Room Correction into Denon and Marantz units was a significant step forward in both deepening Dirac’s market penetration and elevating product performance for each brand’s large and loyal customer base,” Rikard says.

“Now, we’re going even further by making high-quality bass accessible to everyone from professional integrators and audiophiles to the broader consumer market. This is an important moment for our teams and the industry as a whole.”

In total, seven mid-range and high-end Denon and Marantz units will be able to run Dirac Live Bass Control following an over-the-air software update that will allow customers to purchase a license to activate Dirac Live Bass Control on their selected unit.

Denon’s Dirac-ready units include the Denon AVR/AVC-A1H, AVR/AVC-X3800H, Denon AVR/AVC-X4800H and Denon AVR/AVC-X6800H.

Marantz’s Dirac-ready units include the Marantz AV 10, Marantz CINEMA 40 and Marantz CINEMA 50.

Powered by machine learning and AI, Dirac Live Bass Control intelligently co-optimises a system’s subwoofers and speakers to deliver consistently excellent bass, regardless of the listener’s location or room environment. The software aggregates measurement and location data from each subwoofer to determine how a system’s bass is distributed throughout the room then identifies gaps in the sound waves and distributes bass evenly across the listening area.
