The Swedish audio Dirac has teamed up with StormAudio and Perlisten to showcase an immersive home theater demo at High End Munich.
Attendees of the 2023 expo, which runs from May 18-21, will have the opportunity to experience home theater sound that combines the intelligence of the newย Dirac Live Active Room Treatmentย software with StormAudioโs powerful ISP Elite MK3 Immersive Sound Processor and a THX Certified Dominus home theater-quality Perlisten 11.7.6 surround sound system.
The jointly-delivered home theater demo will take place at Messe Mรผnchen in Atrium 3.1, room D111 and C112.
According to Fredric Tapper, Diracโs Vice President of Home & Pro Audio, the showโs custom-built home theater room demonstrates how the advanced capabilities and patented technologies of Dirac Live Active Room Treatment can optimize audio output for any system with two or more speakers, in any room, reducing the need for expensive acoustical treatments.
โThe home theater we are showcasing at High End 2023 combines the latest advancements in room optimization, audio signal processing, and speaker design to deliver a mind-blowing sound experience that will set a new standard for audiophiles, custom integrators, and their clients,โ says Tapper.
โBy reducing the need for passive tools like bass traps or wall treatments, the new easy-to-use Dirac Live Active Room Treatment software can deliver theater-quality performance in rooms of any size or shape, allowing more people to enjoy elevated experiences in the comfort of their own home.โ
Following an upcoming Spring 2023 firmware update for all StormAudio Processors and Receivers, current owners and new buyers will be able to activate Dirac Live Active Room Treatment to optimize their systemโs performance regardless of their specific room shape, size, or interior design.
The StormAudio ISP Elite MK3 Immersive Sound Processor featured in the High End Show demo provides up to 24 channels of decoding and upmixing for the most sought-after immersive surround formats including Auro-3D, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro and IMAX Enhanced, while also offering 32 channels of post-processing, the most advanced version of Dirac Live, and the state-of-the art StormAudio Expert Bass Management.
โWith the debut of this custom demo system and our upcoming integration of Dirac Live ART, we are redefining expectations for ultra-high-end systems,โ adds Olivier Thumerel, CEO of StormAudio.
โStormAudio has consistently raised the standards for peak system performance and immersive audio through advanced engineering, and weโre excited to add Diracโs newest innovation to all our products so all our valued customers can enhance their home theaters even further with spatially optimized output.โ
