Dirac and AudioControl collaborate to create the latest AV receivers and processors
AudioControl is now shipping its Concert Series receivers and Maestro Series AV processors which feature Dirac Live Bass Control for a more immersive home theatre experience in any space.
Dirac Live Bass Control uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to co-optimise the components of a sound system to deliver accurate, consistent bass throughout a room.

“Bass performance suffers when the sound waves from speakers and subwoofers start to bounce around a room,” Dirac head of business development, home and professional audio Niklas Thorin says.
“Dirac Live Bass Control dynamically measures and phase-corrects speakers and subwoofers across all frequencies in order to produce superior bass clarity and enhanced bass tone evenness throughout a room. Home theatre audio has never sounded so rich and precise, as users of AudioControl’s leading AVRs and preamp/processors can now attest.”
The Dirac Live Bass Control aggregates measurement and location data from each subwoofer to determine how a system’s bass is distributed throughout a room. From there, it identifies gaps in the sound waves and distributes bass evenly. It also corrects the low-frequency sound waves produced by other speakers so that the bass produced by each speaker is in sync with the overall system.
This intelligent processing enables the flexible placement of subwoofers while ensuring it meets the listener’s design or aesthetic preferences.
Dirac Live Bass Control, part of the Dirac Live family of acoustic processing technology, also boasts the award-winning Dirac Live Room Correction calibration software.
“As a leading supplier of best-in-class home cinema receivers, processors and amplifiers to A/V specialists, we are excited to feature Dirac Live Bass Control as standard across our new Maestro X-Series processor platform and the majority of our XR Series receivers,” AudioControl chief executive Alex Camara says.
“Dirac’s new bass control technology will enable AudioControl to provide the very best cinematic experience by intelligently optimising the subwoofers and speakers to the characteristics of each room. Including Dirac Live Bass Control as standard on the majority of our processors and receivers is another example of AudioControl’s commitment to providing the very best entertainment solutions for our discerning customers.”
Dirac Live Bass Control is included with AudioControl’s Concert XR-8 and Concert XR-6 receivers and Maestro X7 and Maestro X9 preamp/processors. It is available for an additional cost for the Concert XR-4 receiver.
