For over 10 years, Dirac has been the leading room correction software solution for the high-end market, working with virtually all of the premium markets’ most acclaimed brands. However, this integration with Onkyo, Pioneer, Pioneer Elite, and Integra – four of the industry’s largest and most well-respected receiver brands by volume – delivers Dirac Live from the few to many, equipping more consumers with a home theater audio experience previously only available through higher-priced systems.
“Mainstream consumers are demanding premium audio more than ever before. Onkyo, Pioneer, Pioneer Elite, and Integra recognize that the highest quality can be achieved through sophisticated room correction software like Dirac Live – which impacts sound quality even more than any hi-res audio format,” said Erik Rudolphi, Dirac’s VP of Home & Pro Audio. “In collaboration with four of the industry’s most iconic brands, Dirac is proving that the world’s best room correction software is not just for audiophiles. It’s for everyone.”
Regardless of an audio system’s inherent performance, a room’s size, shape, surfaces, and even furniture can alter how sound waves travel – which results in sound colorations. Dirac Live’s room correction feature analyzes a room’s speakers and acoustics to optimize sound quality with patented impulse response technology, delivering an improvement that users can immediately appreciate. The result is more balanced sound, enhanced clarity, improved intelligibility of vocals and music, and more accurate staging – all of which are critical to a great home theatre experience.
Dirac Live’s room correction feature is now available in the new Onkyo TX-NR7100 and TZ-RZ50; the new Pioneer Elite VSX-LX305 and Elite VSX-LX505; and the new Integra DRX-5.4 and DRX-3.4 home theater AV receivers and integrated amplifiers. All these products are now offered by Premium Audio Company, the company established in 2020 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corporation. Premium Audio Company is comprised of three subsidiaries and includes some of the most legendary and revered brands such as Klipsch, Jamo, Mirage, ProMedia, Magnat, Heco, Mac Audio, Onkyo, Pioneer, Pioneer Elite and Integra.
"We couldn't be more excited to offer to our legions of loyal customers the tremendous advantages that Dirac brings to our new lineup of AV Receivers in 2021,” states Rolf Hawkins, Product Manager for Onkyo, Pioneer, Pioneer Elite and Integra, at Premium Audio Company. “The decades of high-performance audio design Onkyo, Pioneer, Pioneer Elite, and Integra are famous for are brought to the forefront of any home theater space, thanks to Dirac Live's unique and industry-leading room correction. It doesn't get any better than this!"
The move to integrate Dirac Live into new Onkyo, Pioneer, Pioneer Elite, and Integra AVRs means Dirac’s cutting-edge room correction solution is now attainable by consumers at their nearest electronics store, such as Best Buy.
Based in Sweden, Dirac Dirac continues to deliver superior audio experiences, optimizing digital audio, and perfecting sound for better listening in any environment.
