In our series of #CEDIAShares blogs, we’re talking with exhibitors about the hottest technologies and trends they’re looking to see at CEDIA Expo/CIX 2025.
Q&A with Fredric Tapper, VP & head of business development at Dirac.
Why exhibit at CEDIA Expo/CIX 2025?
CEDIA Expo is where innovation meets application; it’s where the most passionate integrators, designers, and audio pros come to discover what’s next. For Dirac, it’s the perfect stage to showcase how we’re bringing studio-grade acoustic precision to the everyday home. With Dirac Live Active Room Treatment (ART) now expanding to Denon and Marantz devices — with more coming this fall. We’re excited to connect with the community and show how advanced room correction is becoming more powerful, more intuitive, and more accessible than ever before.
What is the most exciting trend you expect to see at the show?
One of the most exciting trends we expect to see at this year’s CEDIA Expo is the growing demand for advanced room correction solutions that go beyond traditional acoustic treatments. We’re especially energized by the momentum behind ART, which is beginning to appear in more product lines. ART is transforming how integrators tackle low-frequency room challenges — using the system’s own speakers as an intelligent acoustic control network. This kind of innovation signals a real shift in the industry toward software-driven precision and flexibility, and we’re proud to be leading that charge.
What will you focus on at the show?
We’ll be shining a spotlight on the latest evolution of Dirac Live ART. Now featuring more accurate measurements and a redesigned UX for full in-app calibration, ART makes it easier for integrators to unlock pristine and consistent bass performance without the need for extensive physical treatments. We’ll also be participating in training sessions throughout the show to help integrators get hands-on with our latest updates and deepen their understanding of what Dirac can deliver.
