Lewis CaliburnBluesound has announced that the latest generation of its POWERNODE (N331) wireless streaming amplifier now supports Dirac Live, making Dirac’s room correction technology available to users. With this update, listeners can analyse their room’s acoustic properties and optimise speaker performance for a more accurate and balanced listening experience.
Dirac Live corrects both frequency response and impulse response, going beyond traditional EQ to deliver a more accurate and natural listening experience. By addressing common acoustic challenges such as reflections, standing waves and uneven bass, Dirac Live helps eliminate distortions introduced by the listening environment itself. The result is tighter low-end performance, improved clarity across frequencies and a more precise, lifelike soundstage.
With this integration, the brand claims that POWERNODE users can now fine tune their system with a level of control and precision typically reserved for high-end audio systems, ensuring consistently optimised sound regardless of room size or layout.
“Great sound isn’t just about the right amp or speakers, it’s how that gear interacts with the room,” says Matt Simmonds, Brand Manager at Bluesound. “By bringing Dirac Live to the POWERNODE, we’re giving listeners more tools to unlock the full potential of their Bluesound system, no matter the space.”
To enable Dirac Live room correction, users can purchase the Dirac Live Calibration kit from bluesound.com or an authorised Bluesound retailer, which includes a high-precision measurement microphone for accurate room analysis. A Dirac Live software license is also available for purchase.
