The Harmony DSP 8x12 executes Dirac Live® digital room correction, from
. This mixed-phase
filtering technology will minimize the effects of cabin modes and resonances, adjust frequency response to
optimum, and improve imaging, dynamics and clarity.
To accomplish its remarkable improvement in listening quality, the
DiracLive
application steps you through the
procedure for taking measurements around your listening area. Dirac Live® employs a sophisticated analysis
algorithm to make the optimal correction across the
whole
listening area, not just at a single point. The user has
full control over the target response. Measurements are taken with a calibrated acoustic measurement
microphone, the miniDSP UMIK-1.
In addition to correcting frequency
response, Dirac Live® corrects the system’s
impulse response
, which reflects
how the system responds to a sharp transient such as a drumbeat. Reflections, diffraction, resonances,
misaligned drivers, and so on, all combine to smear out the transient. Correcting the impulse response makes
the speaker behave much more like an ideal speaker.
Dirac Live calibration is described in the separate
