What is Dirac Live Bass Control

From Dirac: “The Bass Control add-on effectively tackles bass management issues, ensuring a smoother and more even distribution of bass in any listening space, irrespective of subwoofer positioning.”

Features for Single Subwoofers – Normal Price $349

• Corrects sound gaps and bass decline
• Enhances bass crossover area for smoother reproduction
• Utilizes machine learning for phase co-optimization and supports one subwoofer

Features for Multiple Subwoofers – Normal Price $499

• Corrects sound gaps and bass decline
• Enhances bass crossover area for smoother reproduction
• Utilizes machine learning for phase co-optimization and supports multiple subwoofers

Simple Home Cinema has done a comparison between the different bass management solutions including comparing DLBC to Multi-Sub Optimiser (MSO). It is worth having a look before putting money down for this.

We have also written a review of Dirac Live on Denon and Marantz Receivers comparing it to Audyssey, and an article on helping you configure Loudness Compensation specifically on these receivers.
