About this app

Note: To use this app, you will need a Dirac capable device. This device must additionally support connecting a microphone - you cannot use your phone as a microphone with this app. If your device does not support a microphone, instead use the desktop version.

No matter how much you’ve invested in your sound system, your room will always have an impact on the sound quality – an all-too-often overlooked fact. Dirac Live Room Correction deals with these challenges in a unique way by addressing the issues that no other product on the market can. That’s why Dirac Live has been adopted by the world’s leading manufacturers of high-end audio-video equipment and praised by audiophiles and music creators all over the world.

Room correction solutions have been around for decades. But we at Dirac realize these only act as advanced equalizers, smoothing the frequency curve but totally missing the timing aspect. Room reflections and misaligned speakers will cause sounds to arrive at your ears with different time delays, blurring the sound image.

With Dirac Live® you’ll experience three key benefits:
1. Improved localization of sound events, or staging.
2. Better clarity and intelligibility in both music and speech.
3. A deeper, tighter bass response, free of resonance throughout the entire listening area.

Dirac Live on Android provides a richer user experience and better interactivity compared to using an on-screen display with remote control.

For existing users of Dirac Live on Android, you will enjoy the following enhancements:
1. A new and unique algorithm that tailors the target curve to your room and sound system.
2. A tool that lets you design your sound profile by adjusting two bars with your fingertips.
3. A simplified calibration process with fewer steps.

Dirac Live® makes use of QT. QT is licensed under LGPLv3. For more information about Dirac Live please visit https://www.dirac.com/live/

Ratings and reviews

Don't use if you have bass control. You also can't export the project file to a PC later. It works but you're probably waste your time doing a round of measurements you can't really use. They really should improve the app. It would be convenient to be able to do the measurements without a laptop then send them to the laptop for processing.

Really limited compared to the PC version. Can't set the sweet spot, can't export the measurements to continue on a PC. I did not go past measurements on the android app. I recommend to use the PC version. The only problem with that is if you don't have a laptop, you will need to go move the microphone for each measurements, at least 6 times. I hoped that if i finish the process on the tablet, i would be able to load it from the receiver on the pc. No. I can see the name though.

Freezes each time after 15min of work to get measurements. Attempted it 3x, wasted an hour. Borrowed an apple device to get it to function. Probably the most disappointed I've been in an app since it sucked so much of my time only to have it brick each time and crash. How this is still offered in the app store with this horifffic quality, I'm not sure. Go elsewhere. This app is awful.

What’s new

Fixed a problem where an anonymous user was blocked with a confusing message.

Fixed a situation where a project created and saved using a Limited DLRC license, and later loaded after having upgraded to a Full licence, would not automatically re-calculate the phase correction using the full bandwidth.

Other minor UI fixes and improvements.
