1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing a NanoAVR DL HDMI audio processor powered by Dirac Live®, the world’s premier
room correction solution. We are delighted to offer you this software and hardware combination, the fruit of
extensive research and development and years of experience in sound system tuning.
The nanoAVR DL is a 2-input HDMI 1.4a switch combined with a sophisticated digital audio signal processor
(DSP) running the Dirac Live® room correction algorithm. The onboard floating-point SHARC processor allows full
time and phase correction of a 7.1 home theater or multichannel audio system using linear PCM (LPCM) audio.
The nanoAVR DL is one of the products in the miniDSP Home Theater Series of audio processors. Deploying a
nanoAVR DL processor in your home theater system will:
 Improve the imaging and immersion
 Improve clarity of music and dialog
 Produce a tighter bass
 Reduce listening fatigue
 Remove resonances and room modes
 Reduce early reflections
1.1 TYPICAL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The nanoAVR DL typically connects between an HDMI source such as a Blu-ray player and an A/V receiver. The
second HDMI input allows connection of other devices such as media streaming devices, computer-based media
players, and so on. Video from the selected input is switched directly to the output, with no video processing
applied to the signal.
