DIRAC now available for New Arcam Receivers!

The new line up of Arcam AV products which features three AV Receivers (the AVR10, AVR20 and AVR30) and an AV Processor (the AV40), are now ready for DIRAC.

What Is DIRAC?

Dirac is a type of room correction software, It corrects not only the frequency response but also the impulse response, a factor critical for accurate staging, clarity and bass reproduction. the overall aim on a Dirac install is to reach the situation where all speakers are working together to create a `sound field` around you, correctly recreating the movies sound effects while not making themselves noticeable.

Our fully trained installer can use DIRAC to allow this using a high quality specially calibrated microphone and the intelligent room analysis software linked to the new range of Arcam receivers. Full frequency sounds are passed into each speaker one at a time, in up to 9 positions in your room which are then picked up by the microphone and loaded into the software.

This creates accurate waveform graphs of your own rooms actual effect on your systems sound output. By using the DIRAC software, we can adjust these waveforms to more closely match the original movies own soundtrack.

The overall effect of this provides a clean, detailed sound where no one speaker is directly noticeable, and your attention is focused only on the movie.
