Dirac Dirac Live Processor for PC and Mac
US
|
£368.21 ≈ | 20 Hz-20 kHz | — | — | — | — | Dirac Live Room Correction, Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment |
|
Dirac Live Processor is virtual room-correction software for PC and Mac that measures your room and applies correction before audio reaches your speakers or audio system. It supports standalone use and plug-ins for compatible DAWs and media players, making it suitable for home hi-fi, home theatre and music-studio setups. ★ Ideal forIt suits comparisons of studio-monitor room-correction systems because it provides full-range 20 Hz-20 kHz correction, multi-position measurement, phase and timing alignment, and optional Active Room Treatment through compatible PC or Mac software. |

Genelec GLM Calibration Kit 8300-601
US
|
£344.60 ≈ | — | — | — | — | — | GLM AutoCal 2 |
|
The Genelec GLM Calibration Kit includes a network adaptor, factory-calibrated measurement microphone, microphone holder, USB cable and setup guide for Genelec SAM monitors and subwoofers. It suits studio owners who need automatic room calibration, monitor management and GRADE Room Acoustic Reporting on Mac or Windows. ★ Ideal forIt suits comparisons of popular studio monitor room correction systems because Genelec GLM uses the included calibrated microphone and AutoCal 2 to optimise level, delay, subwoofer crossover phase and room-response equalisation for SAM systems.

Dirac Dirac Live Room Correction Suite (full, multi-channel)
US
|
£338.70 ≈ | — | — | — | — | — | Impulse response and frequency response correction |
|
Dirac Live Room Correction Suite (full, multi-channel) is a software room-correction license that measures your room and applies real-time correction to improve clarity and imaging across channels. It corrects both magnitude and phase (timing) and supports multichannel processing for home theater and surround setups. ★ Ideal forCompared with studio monitor room-correction systems that focus only on frequency response, Dirac's suite explicitly performs impulse-response and phase/timing correction and targets frequency and timing, which is a better match for multichannel studio/surround tuning workflows.

Dirac Dirac Live Bass Control
US
|
£220.63 ≈ | — | — | — | — | — | Subwoofer integration add-on; full-system bass modeling with phase and timing correction; genetic optimization algorithm for subwoofer channel management |
|
Dirac Live Bass Control is a specialized low-frequency optimization add-on that works alongside Dirac Live Room Correction to manage interaction between subwoofers and speakers. It co-optimizes bass with phase and timing alignment so bass blends through the crossover region and is more consistent across seats. It suits home theater and multi-subwoofer setups where subwoofer calibration and bass integration are complex. ★ Ideal forIf you're comparing popular room-correction brands by their bass management for multi-sub systems, Dirac Live Bass Control specifically co-optimizes subwoofers with the mains (phase and timing alignment and crossover blending) using a genetic optimization algorithm to reduce low-frequency seat-to-seat variation-capabilities aimed directly at subwoofer-array integration rather than only per-speaker EQ. |
