How to Set Up Dirac Live ART
This Short Guide will get you up and running with Active Room Treatment in just a few minutes.
1. Connect to your device.
Open Dirac Live and select your device in the “Select Device” screen.
2. Take measurements
Measure at least the minimum number of points required for ART (shown as a notification in the top right). Then click “Proceed to Filter Design.”
3. Verify ART is selected.
ART should be automatically selected in the correction technology section of the right sidebar if your device and license support it.
4. Configure support groups.
Each ART group (main speaker group) shows support group sliders at the bottom of the graph. These control which speakers can help other speakers in specific frequency ranges
5. Start with default settings.
For your first calibration, use the default parameters. The system automatically detects optimal support ranges.
6. Adjust target curve (optional).
Use the bass and treble sliders to adjust the target frequency response to your preference.
7. Calculate the filter.
Click “Calculate” and wait for processing to complete (this may take a few minutes)
8. Export to your device.
Click “Proceed to Filter Export,” then “Export filter” to send the calibration to your device.
Quick tips
- Start with default settings for your first calibration.
- Compare the result to “Dirac off” using the filter selection menu to hear the improvement.
- If you hear small speakers reproducing bass they shouldn’t, lower the F-support High value for those speakers.
- For advanced tuning and parameter details, see the Full Guide below.
Key parameters to know
- Fsiso (50-150 Hz): The highest frequency where speakers can support each other. Start with the default (typically 150 Hz) and lower it if you hear supporting speakers coloring the output.
- Support Level (-24 to -1 dB): Controls how much a support speaker contributes. -18 dB is the default balance. Use -24 dB for maximum support, -1 dB for minimal support.
- F-support Low/High: Defines the frequency range where a
speaker can provide support. Use the sliders at the bottom of the graph to adjust these ranges visually.
