ACOUSTICAL calibration
expert Dirac and Lenbrook
Group brand Bluesound
have announced that the
pair will be entering into
a unique collaboration to
add Dirac's award-winning
room correction software to
select Bluesound devices.
According to Fredric
Tapper, Dirac's VP of Home
& Pro Audio, this firsttime
collaboration with
Bluesound represents a
significant milestone for
the company it continues
to grow industry access to
its digital room correction
technologies for multiroom
audio installations.
" The ways in which
consumers listen to music
at home are changing; while
dedicated listening rooms
were once the norm, the
whole house is now the
listening space - the living
room, kitchen, bedrooms,
basements, and more, "
states Tapper.
" However, this expanded
definition of listening space
has created new challenges
in terms of high-fidelity audio
reproduction, as openair
spaces with dynamic

room sizes and dimensions
can significantly impact
sound quality. This industry-first
collaboration with
Bluesound resolves these
challenges by delivering
high-fidelity audio across
any room, or any listening
space, irrespective of its
complexities. "
Since its debut, the
Swedish company's Dirac
Live has quickly grown to
become one of the leading
solutions for room correction.
Being able to automatically
address common
acoustic challenges, the
software has broadly expanded
the types of spaces
where integrators have
been able to install audio
and home theater systems.
According to the two
companies, future Bluesound
devices will come
ready to handle Dirac Live
once a Dirac Live license
is purchased through the
Dirac website. A calibration
kit will be made available
for sale on the Bluesound.
com website when the first
enabled Bluesound player
becomes available.
Backwards compatibilThe
Dirac software in Bluesound products helps expand
the options for listening spaces where integrators are able
to install audio and home theater systems.
ity to existing Bluesound
devices is also being studied
and roll out plans for eligible
models will be shared later,
note the pair.
" At Bluesound, we
fundamentally believe that
consumers shouldn't have
to sacrifice audio quality
for the convenience of
streaming - and multiroom
streamed audio doesn't
have to come at the expense
of high-fidelity sound
reproduction, " states Matt
Simmonds, product manager
at Bluesound.
" HiFi runs deep in our
DNA, which is why we're so
excited to be collaborating
with Dirac - a company
that shares our commitment
to audio innovation and the
pursuit of perfected sound.
These Dirac Ready Bluesound
devices will set new
performance standards in
the multiroom WiFi-based
streamed audio market. "
In advance of the first
release, Dirac has made a
dedicated page (dirac.com/
live/bluesound) where
users can sign up to be
notified of which Bluesound
devices have been
enabled as they become
available.
