Dirac Live Ready Now Available on Select Bluesound Players Bluesound, January 14, 2025

Bluesound, creators of award-winning hi-res multi-room streaming players, is thrilled to announce the arrival of Dirac Live readiness, the leading room correction technology, to select Bluesound players. Starting January 14, 2025, owners of the NODE (N132) and NODE ICON (N530) will receive a firmware update enabling compatibility with Dirac Live. 

With the added purchase of a Room Calibration Kit and a Dirac Live license, these Bluesound customers will experience enhanced sound quality across any room of the house, regardless of the room’s unique acoustics. Meanwhile, customers of older NODE X (N131), NODE (N130), POWERNODE (N330), and POWERNODE EDGE (N230) players will also receive this feature before the summer of 2025.

Matt Simmonds, Product Manager for Bluesound, explains, “this launch is important to us since Dirac Live has been one of the most requested features from Bluesound customers due to its unique room correction methods that result in more transparent, balanced sound, and tighter bass and enhanced clarity.”

“We have also implemented Dirac filters before the internal DAC, which will allow those who want to bypass to an external DAC the same benefits,” adds Morten Nielsen, Associate Product Manager for Bluesound. “This has also been commonly requested by our customers, and we are happy to be able to deliver the feature in this way.”

LEVEL UP YOUR NODE

Dirac Live Ready means that Bluesound players are compatible with Dirac Live technology, and owners interested in this feature can separately purchase a Dirac Live license and Bluesound’s Room Calibration Kit, designed and approved for Dirac Live calibration.

The Kit includes a high performance omni-directional microphone sensitive to the full audible frequency range (20 Hz to 20 kHz). It connects to any laptop via a USB-A 2.0 connector and features driverless operation for Windows and MacOS, as well as all Bluesound Dirac Live Ready products. Suggested retail price of the Kit is USD 39 and it can be purchased from authorized Bluesound dealers globally, or from bluesound.com.

Dirac offers three different licenses for Live: (1) Dirac Live Limited, which corrects audio below 500 Hz (USD 159); (2) Dirac Live Full, which corrects the full frequency range (USD 249); and (3) an upgrade license from Limited to Full (USD 99). Licenses are device-specific and are available from Dirac.com.

Rikard Hellerfelt, Dirac’s VP Consumer and eCommerce says, “we know that Bluesound has very passionate customers who love great sound, and we are pleased to be able to introduce Dirac Live to a new device category—streamers—for the very first time. This allows music lovers to elevate their existing audio setups— even those without built-in Dirac Live—by simply adding a Bluesound streamer.”
