(I chose Wide, which uses 17 total measurements.)Īfter completing that step, you proceed to the filter design stage, where you can view a detailed graph of your system's in-room response of along with a Dirac-generated target curves for correction. Depending on your listening arrangement, you can select Focused, Tightly Focused, or Wide Imaging, with the number of required microphone placements corresponding to the specific selection.
#PROCESSORS WITH DIRAC LIVE SOFTWARE#
The next steps are to calibrate the sound output of all speakers using pink noise tones generated by the software and to start the measurement process. When using both Mac and Windows computers, you may need to check the Privacy settings and grant Dirac Live permission to use the mic-a setup step I initially overlooked that had me reaching out for tech support. After launching the software, it directs you to select the Rotel as a target device and displays the available mic inputs (you can use a third-party measurement microphone such as a MiniDSP UMIK-1 if you prefer). To get started with Dirac Live, you'll need to download the Windows/Mac software to a computer, make a hardwired Ethernet connection from the pre-pro to your network router, and connect the included omnidirectional microphone to your PC or Mac. As previously noted, Rotel gives you the full-bandwidth version here, not the Lite one that tops out at 500Hz provided on some other gear. One of the RSP-1576MKII's key features is Dirac Live room correction.
