The final part of any software update to an Arcam or Lexicon AV product is to factory reset the device. The latest version might still need to be loaded onto brand new products. Visit the Arcam or Lexicon websites to find the latest versions. Engage both to evaluate what Dirac has measured, how to make suitable adjustments and analyse the result with your ears.īefore adjusting any settings or starting Dirac Live software, make sure the Arcam or Lexicon AV product is operating the latest software. Instead, get out your own router that you have used before and, most importantly, you know works! If you don’t know the network, don’t get bogged down in trying to fix communication errors between the Dirac Live software and the Arcam or Lexicon AV product. This is important for those who offer Dirac Live optimisation as a service. A high quality measurement microphone is supplied with Arcam and Lexicon AV products but you will want microphone stand, ideally with a boom, to hold the microphone steady and free of contact with furniture. It will need to have Windows 10 or MacOS High Sierra/Mojave for the latest versions of Dirac Live.
There is a selection of items you must have to complete Dirac Live optimisation: So make sure a system is capable of sounding good before Dirac. With or without Dirac, a correctly positioned speaker will always sound better than an incorrectly positioned one. We recommend the Dolby Atmos setup guide (available from the Arcam and Lexicon websites) be consulted as part of any system design.
However, a system with loudspeakers in sonically ideal locations will still sound better when giving Dirac less to correct. This means that anyone attempting to optimise with Dirac Live has the opportunity to make it worse! This is a set of tips that will help you avoid the most common mistakes when implementing Dirac Live.ĭirac is capable of improving the performance of all loudspeakers, including those that may not be in ideal locations. However, it is not an automated process – and it is all the more powerful and useful as a result. By James Todd – Technical Trainer, Harman Luxury Audio Group EMEAĭirac Live is an immensely powerful tool for getting the most out of an audio system with Arcam and Lexicon AV products.
