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 Onkyo Controller and tap the unit when displayed. 2. Tap " " at the top left of the screen and select "Dirac Live". 3. Connect the supplied Speaker Setup microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit. Setup 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. Quick Full SETUP MIC 4.
