Pioneer DIRAC Partnership: Is this the End for MCACC Room EQ?
https://www.audioholics.com/av-news/pioneer-dirac-partnershipPioneer will distribute Dirac’s suite of audio optimization technologies to Japanese manufacturers of sound systems and additionally, will leverage the solutions within their consumer, commercial and OEM audio applications.
Swedish audio technology provider Dirac Research announced an agreement with Pioneer Corporation to distribute their suite of digital technologies to the OEM audio market in Japan. The product categories cover computer speakers, sound bars, Bluetooth speakers, TV loudspeakers, portable audio devices, educational support products as well as amusement equipment featuring arcade games and others. Pioneer will also be leveraging Dirac solutions within a variety of consumer products and commercial audio applications.
“About three years ago, Dirac introduced us to their suite of digital sound quality optimization technologies,” commented Mr. Osamu Takechi，Senior General Manager of Pioneer Industrial Solutions Division. “Completely different from conventional virtual surround and/or equalization, the Dirac solutions are both theoretically and practically proven to fundamentally improve an audio systems’ performance. We were quite impressed with Dirac; hence, we decided to integrate their technologies into our newest speaker systems. We are now in a position to market these groundbreaking technologies in Japan.”
Specializing in digital room correction, sound field control and sound optimization, Dirac Research has developed a range of world-leading solutions tailored for different audio systems, such as speaker and earphone optimization, soundstage widening for multiple speakers, sound quality optimization for portable devices and digital room correction for HiFi systems.
“We are excited about the synergy between Dirac and Pioneer and look forward to delivering superior audio solutions to Japanese OEM’s,” commented Dr. Mathias Johansson, CEO of Dirac. “We anticipate that the integration of our advanced technologies with innovative hardware from Pioneer and the other Japanese manufacturers will establish new benchmarks for audio performance in a variety of product categories.” Johansson concluded.
The Future of Pioneer MCACC Room Correction in Jeopardy?
Probably not, but we can't help ponder this question.DIRAC has quickly become a favorite room correction solution among serious home theater enthusiasts.It's not a stretch to think that Pioneer would eventually incorporate this technology in their AV receivers in favor of MCACC especially since this licensing agreement also encompasses Dirac's own spatial algorithms too.Of course since Onkyo purchased the AV receiver division of Pioneer and recently dropped Audyssey MultiEQ from their AVR's, one would also wonder if Dirac will eventually find its way into their AV receivers too?
Tell us what you think in our forum and if the inclusion of Dirac would persuade you on purchasing an AV receiver.

暫時有一個老外牌子AVamp會用
未見甚麼評價
其他都係出現在電腦喇叭生叭耳筒或2ch之類
但估計dirac唔會有mcacc咁大彈性
可以逐項環境功能開關及微調
最重要係可能會無咗其他對手
模仿緊但模仿唔到比音響迷
將2ch同multi CH兩合為一精粹 front align MDLP 發表於 2016-4-26 14:37 static/image/common/back.gif

Arcam跟嗰個Dirac係Dirac Live
祇是消除喇叭同環境嘅音染(未必完全是好事)
未完全做到Room-Cal
