A few of the reasons that we enjoy working with Audio Control is as follows:
- Local support through our suppliers, with stock holding on hand
- Dirac Live audio calibration
- Toroidal power supplies
- Comprehensive support for surround sound processing (Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, Auro-3D)
- High quality video processing
- Great customer support
We will briefly explain why Dirac Live audio calibration is so important:
Dirac Live Audio Calibration:
Dirac Live® is a state-of-the-art digital room correction technology that employs a sophisticated analysis of your speakers and listening room to optimize the speakers’ overall audio performance and remove sound colorations introduced by the room. The result is substantially improved musical staging, clarity, voice intelligibility, as well as a deeper and tighter bass.
This includes “Room Acoustics & Room Correction”
Great recording and production studios understand that exceptional loudspeakers don’t guarantee exceptional audio. Room acoustics are the weakest link in most sound systems, making acoustic sound treatment a must. Dirac’s sound optimization suite includes digital room correction in order to help your loudspeakers reach their full potential in any listening room – perfect for manufacturers who want to provide the best possible audio solution across any price range for clients in their home cinemas.
