Swedish digital audio pioneer Dirac and Bluesound, makers of hi-fidelity multi-room streaming devices, have announced a collaboration to integrate Dirac Live Room Correction into select Bluesound devices.

According to Fredric Tapper, Dirac’s VP of home and pro audio, this first-time collaboration with Bluesound represents a significant milestone for the company as it continues to strengthen its position as the a leading provider of digital room correction technologies — both in the high-end home theater market and now in the multiroom wireless streaming market.

“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,” Tapper stated. “However, this expanded definition of listening space has created new challenges in terms of high-fidelity audio reproduction, as open-air 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.”

Powered by patented technologies, Dirac Live automatically addresses common acoustic challenges that all home audio systems have, but hardware alone can’t address or that takes too much time, expertise, or cost to do. The software is unique in that it corrects for both the magnitude and phase of the entire sound system, including the room itself, resulting in more transparent, balanced sound, tighter bass, improved staging, and enhanced clarity.

“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,” stated Matt Simmonds, product manager, 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 Wi-Fi-based streamed audio market.”

Future Bluesound devices will come ready to handle Dirac Live once a Dirac Live license is purchased through the Dirac website. Backwards compatibility to existing Bluesound devices is also being studied, and roll out plans for eligible models will be shared at a later date. A calibration kit will be made available for sale on the Bluesound.com website when the first enabled Bluesound player becomes available.
