Dirac has announced an expanded collaboration with Marantz and Denon, introducing Dirac Live Room Correction to the Marantz MODEL M1 and Denon Home Amp. These models are the first streaming amplifiers from Marantz and Denon to feature Dirac’s patented algorithms, which minimize the impact of room acoustics on sound performance.

Dirac Live Room Correction delivers a more balanced and accurate soundstage, a feature previously exclusive to premium-priced systems. The technology addresses acoustic challenges that traditional hardware cannot resolve without significant time, expertise or cost. By uniquely correcting both magnitude and phase responses, Dirac Live optimizes the entire audio system—including the room itself—for transparent sound, tighter bass, improved staging and enhanced clarity.

Users can upgrade their Marantz MODEL M1 with Dirac Live Room Correction Limited Bandwidth for $159 or Full Bandwidth for $249 by purchasing a license. The same upgrade options are available for Denon Home Amp users.
