Dirac has announced that Dirac Live Active Room Treatment (ART) will be available on Arcam’s new lineup of audio/video amplifiers in the Radia Series, including the AVA15, AVA25, AVA35 audio/video amplifiers and the AVP45 16-channel processor.
The new AV models expand the Radia Series into home cinema and will support Dirac Live Room Correction — with Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment available as optional upgrades — to deliver a comprehensive smart acoustics solution for discerning home theater enthusiasts and professional integrators.
First introduced in 2023, Dirac Live ART transforms a system’s existing speakers and subwoofers into a cooperative acoustic control network that actively manages low-frequency resonances and reflections. Powered by Dirac’s patented MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology, ART enables every speaker in the system to work together to control bass behavior across the room.
Rather than treating each speaker as an isolated source, Dirac Live ART coordinates them as a unified system to reduce decay times, smooth bass response, and improve timing and coherence throughout the listening area. The result is tighter, more articulate low-end performance, enhanced dialog clarity, and a broader, more consistent sweet spot — even in asymmetrical or acoustically challenging rooms.
Dirac Live ART builds on Dirac Live Room Correction, which optimizes both magnitude and phase response to address acoustic issues traditional EQ cannot resolve, and Dirac Live Bass Control, which uses machine learning to co-optimize subwoofers and speakers for consistent low-frequency performance across multiple seats. Together, these technologies form Dirac’s most advanced home theater optimization platform to date.
The Arcam Radia AVA15, AVA25, AVA35, and AVP45 will be available beginning in Q3 2026, with Dirac Live ART available as an upgrade.
