Dirac - Low Signal To Noise error
The Low Signal to Noise error message will show up during the measurement phase of Dirac, and will prevent them from moving to the final steps. The error message makes it seem like there is too much ambient noise interfering with the calibration, but ...
Dirac Mic does not pick up Test Tones
During the volume calibration stage of Dirac, you may find that the microphone picks up voices just fine, but it doesn't seem to measure anything for test tones that Dirac plays through the speakers. This is typically caused by a setting on your ...
Dirac Live: Bass Control for X / XR series processors and receivers
The AudioControl Maestro X9 / X7 processors and Concert XR8 / XR6 / XR4 receivers are enabled with the Dirac Live Bass Control features. Please make sure your processor or receiver is running the latest firmware in order to have access to the Bass ...
Can I use a different calibration mic for Dirac?
Yes. As long as the microphone is connected via USB when you launch Dirac. You would then select the Microphone during setup of Dirac during the “microphone” section. From there you will need to load the FRD text file for the calibration mic from the ...
Which mic calibration file do I use for Dirac?
Our AVR’s and M9 started shipping with a new microphone. It is an all in one piece, there is no longer a separate USB dongle along with the microphone. It looks like this: Along with that comes a new calibration file. The Dirac software download ...
Where to place the mic during Dirac Measurements
When you reach the measurement phase of Dirac, the software gives you a handful of listening positions to measure before proceeding. Depending on the size of the room, it’s hard to tell where you should put the microphone before each measurement. ...
What is Dirac Live®?
Dirac Live® is a mixed-phase room correction technology used in cinemas, studios and luxury cars. It corrects not only the frequency response but also the impulse response, a factor critical for accurate staging, clarity and bass reproduction. Dirac ...
My Maestro processor or Concert receiver is on the network, but Dirac cannot find it!
First, make sure that the CONTROL setting in the setup menu is set to IP. Even if you will ultimately use RS-232 for control, the CONTROL setting needs to be set to IP in order for Dirac to see the processor or receiver on the network. For the ...
Is the Dirac on/off command global, or per input?
The Dirac EQ on/off command is per input basis. You can disengage the Dirac EQ by pressing the “audio” button on the HTR-2 remote that came with your AVR or M9. It is NOT a global command. For example, if you turned on Dirac for your Satellite box ...
Dirac Setup Walk-Thru (Legacy – v1.2.5)
INITIAL SETUP Make sure your AVR 7/9 or Maestro M5/M9 is connected to the same network as your computer. It doesn’t matter if the computer is connected via Ethernet or WiFi, as long as it is on the same network. If your network is using DHCP, the AVR ...
Dirac Live: Volume Calibration makes a Ticking Noise
In the Volume Calibration stage of Dirac, each channel should output a pink noise test tone, and the sub will output a short tone sweep. In some cases, you will hear the channels output a mysterious ticking noise. Trying to proceed through the ...
Dirac Live: Setup for X / XR series processors and receivers
NOTE: This tutorial was written with Dirac version 3.4.4. Later versions of Dirac might have slight variations to the process. If you see something that doesn’t match with what you read in this walk thru, please call AudioControl tech support. ...
Dirac Live: Setup for Maestro M5/M9 processors and AVR 7/9 receivers.
Initial Setup Make sure the AVR 7/9 or M5/9 is connected to the same network as your computer. It doesn’t matter if the computer is connected via hardware or wifi, as long as it is on the same network. If your network is DHCP, the amplifier will ...
