Dirac has announced that its Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control technologies are now available in the new McIntosh MX124 A/V Processor, bringing advanced room optimization to premium home theater installations. The integration helps improve sound clarity, imaging, tonal balance, and bass performance by correcting acoustic issues created by the listening environment.
Built for high-end home cinema systems, the McIntosh MX124 supports up to 13.4-channel configurations and includes Dirac’s room correction solutions as standard. Combined with extensive connectivity options, the processor gives AV professionals and home theater enthusiasts a reliable way to deliver more accurate, immersive audio performance across a variety of room layouts.
Swedish digital audio pioneer Dirac today announced that its Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control solutions will be available in the new McIntosh MX124 A/V Processor, bringing advanced room acoustics optimization to McIntosh’s latest high-performance home theater device.
Designed for premium home cinema environments, the MX124 combines McIntosh’s renowned audio engineering with Dirac’s industry-leading room correction solutions to deliver more accurate, immersive, and balanced sound reproduction across a wide range of listening spaces.
Dirac Live Room Correction addresses both magnitude and phase distortions introduced by the listening environment, improving clarity, imaging, bass response, and overall tonal balance. Dirac Live Bass Control further enhances low-frequency performance by intelligently optimizing subwoofer integration throughout the room, delivering tighter, more consistent bass across multiple seating positions.
“In high-performance home cinema, the room is part of the system – and achieving reference-level playback requires more than premium components alone,” said Rikard Hellerfelt, Dirac Vice President & Head of BA Consumer Electronics. “With Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control integrated into the McIntosh MX124, listeners gain a more precise foundation for immersive sound. McIntosh has built its reputation on uncompromising audio performance, and the MX124 gives customers the acoustic precision needed to fully realize that performance in any room – regardless of its acoustic complexities.”
The McIntosh MX124 is a multi-channel processor supporting configurations up to 13.4 channels and includes support for Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control out of the box. The processor also offers extensive connectivity options, including HDMI, digital, balanced analog, and unbalanced analog inputs, alongside Bluetooth and streaming support.
By pairing McIntosh’s premium hardware with Dirac’s patented acoustic correction technologies, the MX124 optimizes sound for the full playback chain – from system components to the unique acoustic characteristics of the room.
