2.2. Configure the Dirac Live® application

Dirac Live

will take you through four steps to optimize a room. Each step has a separate and distinct

user interface. The steps are:

• Configure: Select the output channels on the AP20. For 5.1 audio (six channels), select the

first six channels on this screen. If a given channel is actually routed to multiple speakers

such as a surround array, you need to indicate this, by clicking the Multiple speakers

checkbox.

Note: Time correction cannot be done for multiple speakers on the same channel. Dirac Live

will only do the frequency aberration correction, in that case.

• Record Measurements: Each channel is measured from at least 9 different positions and the

measurements are recorded.

• Optimize: The target response and crossover settings are specified, and the filter coefficients

are computed.

• Export: The computed filter coefficients are downloaded to the AP20 (from the laptop).

1. Start Dirac Live

by clicking on the Start Dirac Live button in the lower right corner in the

AP20 Dirac Live

Configuration Screen on the laptop. Figure 5 shows the opening screen.
