Measuring with Dirac Live
Use the Pioneer Remote App to use Dirac Live to take measurements. Use the
most recent version. Note that you cannot make settings using operations on
this unit. Refer to "Pioneer Remote App" ( → p153 ) for information about the
app. Also have a tripod ready to set up the speaker setup microphone.
• Calibration takes about 20 minutes to be completed.
Dirac Live ® is an advanced room correction technology developed by Dirac
Research. As one of the most advanced room correction technology available
on the market, Dirac Live helps listeners to correct for one of the weakest
components in the audio chain: the listening room. Dirac Live not only corrects
the frequency response, but also the impulse response of the loudspeakers in a
room, yielding improved imaging and timbre, better clarity, tighter bass, and less
early reflections, as well as reduced resonances and room modes.
1. Start the Pioneer Remote App and tap the unit when displayed.
2. Tap " " at the top left of the screen and select "Dirac Live".

• If the setting in "System Setup" - "Speaker" - "Configuration" - "Speaker
Channels" ( → p114 ) is different to the number of connected speaker
channels, an error is displayed and measurement cannot be performed.
5. Select the method of measurement. There are two methods of measuring to
choose from; "Quick" which measures 3 locations; at the listening position
and to the left and right of the listening position; and "Full" which measures 9
positions including the listening position. Tap the method you prefer.
"Quick": Set up the microphone at ear height in the listening position for
measurement. Next measure by setting up the microphone between 50 and
100 cm away to the left and right of the listening position.
"Full": Set up the microphone at ear height in the listening position for
measurement. Next, measure in 8 positions to the front, back, left, right, etc.,
centered on the listening position. Measure by setting up the microphone
in each of these positions, between 50 and 100 cm away from the listening
position.
