Lewis CaliburnDirac used CEDIA Expo 2026 to announce that NAD Electronics’ CI SA2-120 BluOS Streaming Amplifier Module and NAD CI S2 BluOS Streaming Module have been certified to support Dirac Live Room Correction, expanding access to advanced room optimisation across NAD’s custom installation portfolio.
Designed specifically for professional integrators, the NAD CI Modular Series is a line of flexible, high-performance audio solutions engineered to simplify custom installation projects of any scale. Its modular architecture enables seamless system expansion and efficient deployment while maintaining NAD’s sound quality.
Dirac Live Room Correction further optimises their performance for the unique acoustic characteristics of each listening space, helping integrators deliver clearer, more balanced sound throughout the home.
“Every room shapes sound in ways that even premium audio hardware cannot address on its own,” says Rikard Hellerfelt, VP and Head of Consumer Electronics at Dirac. “By expanding Dirac Live Room Correction to NAD’s CI SA2-120 and CI S2, we’re giving professional integrators a powerful tool to unlock the full performance of distributed audio systems while creating consistently exceptional listening experiences across the home.”
Dirac Live Room Correction addresses acoustic issues that arise from the interaction between a sound system and its surrounding environment. The patented technology corrects both the magnitude and phase of a system’s sound response, reducing unwanted effects such as uneven frequency response and imprecise imaging.
Part of the NAD CI Modular Series, the NAD CI SA2-120 combines high-quality amplification and BluOS music streaming in a compact, space-saving design for single and dual-zone applications. The NAD CI S2 delivers two independent zones of BluOS streaming, giving integrators a flexible and scalable solution for multi-room audio systems. The series also includes the CI PA4-60, a versatile four-channel power amplifier that expands system design options for larger distributed audio systems.
“For custom integrators, every project presents a unique acoustic environment,” says Peter Gibb, Custom Install Product Manager, NAD Electronics. “Bringing Dirac Live Room Correction to the CI SA2-120 and CI S2 pairs the flexibility of our modular CI platform with powerful room optimisation, helping integrators achieve exceptional, consistent sound across a wide range of spaces and system configurations.”
