Lewis CaliburnDirac has announced that its Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control solutions will be available in the new McIntosh MX124 A/V Processor, bringing advanced room acoustics optimisation to McIntosh’s latest high-performance home theatre device.
Designed for premium home cinema environments, the MX124 combines McIntosh’s audio engineering with Dirac’s room correction solutions to deliver more accurate, immersive and balanced sound reproduction across a wide range of listening spaces.
Dirac Live Room Correction addresses both magnitude and phase distortions introduced by the listening environment, improving clarity, imaging, bass response and overall tonal balance. Dirac Live Bass Control further enhances low-frequency performance by intelligently optimising subwoofer integration throughout the room, delivering tighter, more consistent bass across multiple seating positions.
“In high-performance home cinema, the room is part of the system – and achieving reference-level playback requires more than premium components alone,” says Rikard Hellerfelt, Dirac Vice President & Head of BA Consumer Electronics. “With Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control integrated into the McIntosh MX124, listeners gain a more precise foundation for immersive sound. McIntosh has built its reputation on uncompromising audio performance and the MX124 gives customers the acoustic precision needed to fully realise that performance in any room – regardless of its acoustic complexities.”
The McIntosh MX124 is a multi-channel processor supporting configurations up to 13.4 channels and includes support for Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control out of the box. The processor also offers extensive connectivity options, including HDMI, digital, balanced analogue and unbalanced analogue inputs, alongside Bluetooth and streaming support.
By pairing McIntosh’s premium hardware with Dirac’s patented acoustic correction technologies, the MX124 optimises sound for the full playback chain – from system components to the unique acoustic characteristics of the room.
