Performing A Dirac Live Room Calibration
Performing A Dirac Live Room Calibration
Preparations
At this point you have finished all of the preparations necessary to perform a Dirac Live automatic
room calibration:
• You’ve connected the RMC-1, RMC-1L, or XMC-2 to your network.
• You’ve connected the Emotiva Dirac Network Interface box to your network
(you’ve turned it on and, if necessary, waited for it to boot up).
• You’ve downloaded the Dirac Live software and installed it on your computer.
• You’ve downloaded the microphone calibration file that goes with your measurement
microphone onto the computer somewhere you can find it when asked to do so.
• You’ve connected the microphone to your computer, connected the computer to your
network, and started up the computer.
• You’ve temporarily turned off any noisy air conditioners, put the children and pets safely out
of the way, and turned off anything else that makes a lot of noise.
Starting The Dirac Live Room Calibration Process On Your Processor
On the RMC-1, RMC-1L, or XMC-2 processor:
• Select
Menu | Setup | Speakers | Preset 1
(or Preset 2) to enter one of the Speaker Presets.
• In the Speaker Preset check the box to Enable Dirac .
Note: If the Dirac Enable box displays UNAVAILABLE it means that the Emotiva Dirac Network
Interface box is not responding. This could be because the Network Interface box is not
connected to your network, has been shut down and has not since been restarted, or has
stopped running and will need to be rebooted. It could also indicate that there is some sort of
problem with your network or that your processor is not properly connected to your network .
Do not proceed until the Network Interface can be enabled.
Note: The Dirac Live calibration software will now read the speaker configuration from
THIS SPEAKER PRESET and save the correction filters it creates to THIS SPEAKER PRESET.
All future operations will now be controlled by the Dirac Live software on your computer.
