Do you own a Bluesound Node 132 or Node ICON N530? After a new firmware update, these devices are now Dirac Live Ready.
Dirac Live allows compatible devices to perform room correction, automatically optimizing audio output to suit your listening environment. With the latest firmware update, both the Bluesound Node 132 and Node ICON N530 gain this functionality.
To utilize Dirac Live, you’ll need additional hardware in the form of the Bluesound Room Calibration Kit, priced at £39. You’ll also need to purchase a Dirac Live license, with two options available:
- Limited License: £129
- Full License: £199
If you opt for the Limited License, you can later upgrade to the Full version for £79.
Key Feature: Pre-DAC Filtering
According to Bluesound, Dirac filters are applied before the internal DAC, making this feature particularly appealing for users of external DACs, which will also benefit from the room correction enhancements.
Future Support for Other Bluesound Nodes
Good news for owners of other Bluesound Node models too: a similar firmware update bringing Dirac Live Ready functionality is expected mid-year. As with the current models, the calibration kit and license will also be required.
