Dirac has announced that its Dirac Live Active Room Treatment (ART) solution is now available on a range of Denon and Marantz AV receivers. All Denon and Marantz AV receivers and AV preamplifiers that currently support Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control will also support Dirac Live ART, enabling owners to further elevate their systems with advanced low-frequency spatial correction.
In North America, compatible Denon models include the AVR-A1H, AVR-A10H, AVR-X6800H, AVR-X4800H, and AVR-X3800H. In Europe and APAC, these models are designated as the AVC-A1H, AVC-A10H, AVC-X6800H, AVC-X4800H, and AVC-X3800H. Supported Marantz models include the AV10, AV20, CINEMA 30, CINEMA 40, and CINEMA 50.
Dirac Live ART was introduced in 2023 as a professional-grade addition to the Dirac Live platform. It builds on Dirac Live Room Correction, which optimizes the magnitude and phase response of a system to deliver balanced, transparent sound, and Dirac Live Bass Control, which adds intelligent subwoofer optimization. Dirac Live ART takes performance a step further by turning every speaker in the room into a cooperative system that actively manages bass resonances in the critical 20–150 Hz range, reducing reverberation times and improving bass clarity across all listening positions.
Powered by Dirac’s patented MIMO technology, Dirac Live ART achieves results that traditionally require extensive physical acoustic treatment. By precisely aligning phase and controlling the sound field in real time, Dirac Live ART ensures smooth, consistent bass even in asymmetrical or challenging room layouts.
Users can upgrade their Denon and Marantz devices with Dirac Live ART for $299, by purchasing a license here for Marantz and here for Denon. Dirac Live ART comes as an add-on to the existing Dirac Live portfolio and can be purchased as a stand-alone license or in combination with Dirac Live Room Correction and Bass Control.
