<title>JBL Kingdom Story 1: Welcoming K2 S9900</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p data-end="306" data-start="99">I enjoy the sound of my <strong data-end="138" data-start="123">JBL Kingdom</strong> in Fukushima as much as that of my <strong data-end="189" data-start="174">KEF Kingdom</strong> in Hiroshima.<br data-end="206" data-start="203">As I write this, I recall the day I finally brought home my long-admired <strong data-end="303" data-start="279">JBL Project K2 S9900</strong>.</p><p data-end="306" data-start="99">&nbsp;</p><p data-end="701" data-start="308">My Fukushima setup had been a <strong data-end="366" data-start="338">5.3.6 Dolby Atmos system</strong> built entirely around the <strong data-end="409" data-start="393">JBL HDI-1600</strong>.<br data-end="413" data-start="410">The HDI-1600 offered a beautifully balanced tone and a smooth, uncolored character that blended naturally with both movies and music.<br data-end="549" data-start="546">Still, I often wished for a little more openness in the highs — a touch of that horn-driven energy that radiates into the room and wraps you in sound.</p><p data-end="701" data-start="308">&nbsp;</p><p data-end="1172" data-start="703">The large JBL systems I’d heard in friends’ listening rooms left a lasting impression.<br data-end="792" data-start="789">The <strong data-end="805" data-start="796">S9800</strong>, <strong data-end="816" data-start="807">S9900</strong>, and <strong data-end="830" data-start="822">4365</strong> each possessed an overwhelming presence.<br data-end="874" data-start="871">The 4365, in particular, filled a large space with over <strong data-end="940" data-start="930">110 dB</strong> of sound pressure — it was a physical experience, almost seismic.<br data-end="1009" data-start="1006">Even at lower volumes, the S9800 and S9900 had a way of surrounding me in sound.<br data-end="1092" data-start="1089">Those encounters made my longing for large woofers and horn speakers absolute.</p><p data-end="1172" data-start="703">&nbsp;</p><p data-end="1544" data-start="1174">Then one day, I came across a used pair of <strong data-end="1227" data-start="1217">S9900s</strong> at <em data-end="1239" data-start="1231">Nodaya</em> in Koriyama.<br data-end="1255" data-start="1252">The moment I heard them, I was captivated.<br data-end="1300" data-start="1297">The highs sounded a bit sharper than I preferred, but by reducing the rear control slightly, they transformed into a liquid, velvety brilliance.<br data-end="1447" data-start="1444">A gentle boost in the midrange control added presence to vocals that had felt a touch too soft.</p><p data-end="1544" data-start="1174">&nbsp;</p><p data-end="1872" data-start="1546">From the first note, the <strong data-end="1600" data-start="1571">15-inch lightweight cones</strong> unleashed a dry, powerful bass that filled the room.<br data-end="1656" data-start="1653">The horn’s midrange bloomed with warmth yet retained complete clarity, while the highs extended like a clear breeze through open air.<br data-end="1792" data-start="1789">I was astonished — I hadn’t expected such performance straight out of the box.</p><p data-end="1872" data-start="1546">&nbsp;</p><p data-end="2041" data-start="1874">At high volumes, memories of that 110 dB experience came rushing back — the sense of being enveloped by the horn’s sound, as if the music itself were taking control.</p><p data-end="2041" data-start="1874">&nbsp;</p><p data-end="2239" data-start="2043">Compared with my KEF system, the frequency response of the S9900 is less even and its directivity less uniform.<br data-end="2157" data-start="2154">But that hardly matters.<br data-end="2184" data-start="2181">Once you hear this sound, everything else fades away.</p><p data-end="2239" data-start="2043">&nbsp;</p><p data-end="2542" data-start="2241">The <strong data-end="2254" data-start="2245">S9900</strong> is not merely a loudspeaker.<br data-end="2286" data-start="2283">It changes the very air of the room — and even the way I listen.<br data-end="2353" data-start="2350">If the <strong data-end="2375" data-start="2360">KEF Kingdom</strong> represents <strong data-end="2410" data-start="2387">a transparent ideal</strong>, then the <strong data-end="2436" data-start="2421">JBL Kingdom</strong> is <strong data-end="2471" data-start="2440">a living impulse of passion</strong>.<br data-end="2475" data-start="2472">With both kingdoms side by side, music has never sounded so free.</p><p data-end="2542" data-start="2241"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251104/07/kawauso9991/8d/d5/j/o1920144015709092092.jpg"><img alt="" contenteditable="inherit" height="465"

<title>JBL王国物語①：Project K2 S9900を迎えて</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p>広島のKEF王国のほかに、福島でもJBL王国の音を楽しんでいます。<br>長年の憧れだったJBL Project K2 S9900を導入したときの記憶を思い出しながら、今これを書いています。<br><br>福島のシステムは、JBL HDI-1600で統一した5.3.6chのドルビーアトモス対応構成でした。<br>HDI-1600はバランスの取れた音質と、角のない穏やかな音色が魅力で、映画にも音楽にもよく寄り添ってくれました。<br>ただ、高域がもう少し抜けてくれたら…という思いがあり、ホーンらしい音の放射や包み込まれるようなエネルギーを求める気持ちが強くなっていきました。<br><br>これまでに訪ねたオーディオ仲間の家で聴いたJBLの大型機たちは、どれも忘れられません。<br>S9800、S9900、そして4365——それぞれが圧倒的な存在感を放ちました。<br>特に4365は、広い空間を110dBを超える音圧で制圧し、体が震えるほどの衝撃でした。<br>S9800やS9900はそれより静かな音量でも、包み込まれるような音場感がありました。<br>この体験が、大型ウーファーとホーンスピーカーへの憧れを決定的なものにしたのです。<br><br>そんな折、郡山の「のだや」で中古のS9900に出会いました。<br>その瞬間、心を奪われました。<br>少し高域が私の好みより鋭く聴こえましたが、背面のコントロールを</p><p>わずかにマイナスにすることで、蕩けるような高音に変わりました。<br>さらに中音のコントロールをプラスにして、やや柔らかかったボーカルに張りを加えました。<br><br>鳴らした瞬間、15インチの軽量コーンが放つ乾いた勢いある低音に包まれました。<br>ホーンからあふれる中音域は柔らかく、しかし曇りのない透明さを持ち、高域は澄みきった風のように伸びていきます。<br>「これほどの音が最初から出るのか」と、ただただ驚かされました。<br><br>大音量再生では、あの日の記憶——あの110dBの衝撃が甦りました。<br>ホーンの音に包み込まれるあの感覚。まさに“支配される音”です。<br><br>KEFのシステムと比べると、周波数特性には少し凸凹があり、指向性も一貫してはいません。<br>けれど、そんなことはどうでもいい。この音を聴けば、全てが報われます。<br>　<br>S9900は、ただのスピーカーではありません。<br>&nbsp;その存在は、部屋の空気を変え、私の“聴く姿勢”まで変えました。<br>&nbsp;KEF王国が透明な理想なら、JBL王国は血の通った衝動 。<br>&nbsp;二つの王国があるからこそ、音楽はますます自由に鳴りはじめています。</p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251104/07/kawauso9991/8d/d5/j/o1920144015709092092.jpg"><img alt="" contenteditable="inherit" height="465" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251104/07/kawauso9991/8d/d5/j/o1920144015709092092.jpg" width="620"></a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251104/07/kawauso9991/2c/2f/j/o2048153615709092206.jpg"><img alt="" contenteditable="inherit" height="465" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251104/07/kawauso9991/2c/2f/j/o2048153615709092206.jpg" width="620"></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<title>Introducing the KEF Kingdom System in Hiroshima</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <h2 data-end="259" data-start="228">Overview of the Audio System</h2><p data-end="683" data-start="261">This system is a <strong data-end="317" data-start="278">5.4.6 immersive sound configuration</strong>, designed to achieve the <strong data-end="404" data-start="343">reference speaker layout for both Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D</strong>.<br data-end="408" data-start="405">The main speakers are <strong data-end="454" data-start="430">KEF Reference 1 Meta</strong>, positioned in a near-field arrangement with an equal distance of about <strong data-end="541" data-start="527">1.7 meters</strong>. This setup provides a <strong data-end="593" data-start="565">focused and direct sound</strong> on axis, characterized by KEF’s signature <strong data-end="682" data-start="636">smooth directivity and holographic imaging</strong>.</p><p data-end="1031" data-start="685">For surround and height channels, <strong data-end="743" data-start="719">twelve KEF LS50 Meta</strong> speakers are employed, fully realizing the spatial potential of modern immersive audio formats.<br data-end="842" data-start="839">Low frequencies are handled by <strong data-end="912" data-start="873">four JTR Captivator 2400 subwoofers</strong>, capable of reproducing frequencies down to <strong data-end="966" data-start="957">10 Hz</strong>, delivering deep, powerful bass with a physical sense of impact.</p><p data-end="1316" data-start="1033">The system is powered by a <strong data-end="1077" data-start="1060">Denon AVR-A1H</strong>, with <strong data-end="1098" data-start="1084">Dirac Live</strong> used for precision room correction.<br data-end="1137" data-start="1134">A non-EQ mode is also available, ensuring full dynamic headroom for thunderous playback levels when desired — a listening experience that truly feels like “lightning in the room.”</p><hr data-end="1321" data-start="1318"><h2 data-end="1340" data-start="1323">Room Acoustics</h2><p data-end="1451" data-start="1342">The highlight of this setup is not only the equipment but the <strong data-end="1435" data-start="1404">acoustically optimized room</strong> that houses it.</p><ul data-end="1587" data-start="1453"><li data-end="1508" data-start="1453"><p data-end="1508" data-start="1455"><strong data-end="1469" data-start="1455">Room size:</strong> approximately 8 tatami mats (≈13 m²)</p></li><li data-end="1541" data-start="1509"><p data-end="1541" data-start="1511"><strong data-end="1530" data-start="1511">Ceiling height:</strong> 5 meters</p></li><li data-end="1587" data-start="1542"><p data-end="1587" data-start="1544"><strong data-end="1567" data-start="1544">Reverberation time:</strong> about 0.5 seconds</p></li></ul><p data-end="1946" data-start="1589">The tall ceiling and moderate reverb time allow the system to perform at its full potential, producing a <strong data-end="1728" data-start="1694">neutral, natural tonal balance</strong> with minimal coloration.<br data-end="1756" data-start="1753">Standing-wave peaks are limited to a slight bump around 40 Hz, resulting in a smooth overall frequency response — even <strong data-end="1902" data-start="1875">without room correction</strong>, the sound remains clean and well-balanced.</p><p data-end="2113" data-start="1948">Interestingly, the room is <strong data-end="1995" data-start="1975">not soundproofed</strong>, which improves low-frequency ventilation and helps create an <strong data-end="2088" data-start="2058">open, spacious sound field</strong> that breathes naturally.</p><hr data-end="2118" data-start="2115"><h2 data-end="2141" data-start="2120">Visual Performance</h2><p data-end="2461" data-start="2143">On the visual side, the system features a <strong data-end="2212" data-start="2185">77-inch LG OLED display</strong>, calibrated with <strong data-end="2245" data-start="2230">Calman Home</strong> for accurate HDR performance.<br data-end="2278" data-start="2275">Its high brightness and precise color calibration provide <strong data-end="2383" data-start="2336">dynamic yet reference-grade picture quality</strong>, perfectly matched with the immersive sound for a truly cinematic experience.</p><hr data-end="2118" data-start="2115"><p data-end="2461" data-start="2143"><a

<title>How to Set Up Dirac ART on Denon &amp; Marantz</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <h2><a id="toc"></a>Table of Contents</h2><ul><li><a href="#prep">Preparation</a></li><li><a href="#tuning">Tuning</a></li><li><a href="#sub">Subwoofer Support Setup (Full-Range &amp; LFE)</a></li><li><a href="#lfe">LFE Group Setup</a></li><li><a href="#main">Main Speaker Setup</a></li><li><a href="#target">Target Curve Adjustment</a></li><li><a href="#enjoy">Enjoy your ART 🎶</a></li></ul><h2><a id="prep"></a>Preparation</h2><p><b>Mic:</b> UMIK-1 is recommended and works well with REW. Any calibrated measurement mic is fine as long as a 90-degree calibration file is available.</p><p><b>USB power:</b> If USB power is insufficient, measurements may fail. Use a short, good-quality USB cable. If you need extra length, add a self-powered USB hub.</p><p><b>Calibration file &amp; orientation:</b> Select the mic and load the 90-degree calibration file. Point the mic upward.</p><p><b>Measurement count:</b> A common guideline is “number of speakers + 1,” but don’t go too low. I recommend <b>at least 9 points</b>. Only the first point needs to be precise at the MLP ear position. After that, you can be rough (order does not matter).</p><p><b>Mic movement range:</b> Don’t move too far from the first point. Keep the measurement “cloud” within about <b>30–90 cm</b> (roughly 1–3 ft).</p><p><b>No handheld:</b> Don’t hold the mic by hand. Use a stand.</p><h2><a id="tuning"></a>Tuning</h2><p>I support the idea that a target curve is not something you “design,” but something that should naturally make sense (Floyd Toole-style thinking). I generally avoid correcting too high in frequency; over-correction can create strange directivity/imaging sensations.</p><p>In most cases, bass-only correction is enough: up to about <b>300 Hz</b>, or at most <b>500 Hz</b>. Set Dirac’s <b>Curtains</b> for all channels accordingly.</p><p>If bass-only correction still doesn’t sound good, speaker choice (or speaker/room interaction) might be the real problem. In that case, you can try correcting higher frequencies with Dirac, but it can become unnatural.</p><p>Or… throw your speakers out the window and buy speakers you actually enjoy. (Half joke, half truth.)</p><h2><a id="sub"></a>Subwoofer Support Setup (Full-Range &amp; LFE)</h2><p>In most cases, the subwoofer setup can stay at defaults.</p><p>If you have one weaker sub mixed in with stronger subs, split that weak sub out of the combined subwoofer group (drag &amp; drop to separate it). Then reduce its workload by raising the <b>support range lower bound</b>, for example to <b>40–150 Hz</b>.</p><p><b>Important:</b> After splitting groups, that sub can end up excluded from other channel support. Make sure support is still <b>enabled (ON)</b> where you want it.</p><p>If you enable the checkbox on the left side of the support range, the <b>Infrabass</b> option becomes available, allowing playback below <b>20 Hz</b>. Infrabass is outside Dirac’s control (it passes through uncorrected), so integration/phase can become messy.</p><p>Infrabass is rarely needed outside the LFE channel, so it’s fine to keep it <b>OFF</b> for non-LFE. Even for LFE it’s optional, so decide based on preference.</p><p><b>If you have no subwoofers:</b> Use your most capable main speaker pair as support speakers. I recommend setting the support range upper bound to <b>80 Hz</b>.</p><p><b>If you do use subwoofers as support:</b> Using support up to <b>150 Hz</b> is recommended.</p><h2><a id="lfe"></a>LFE Group Setup</h2><p>For the LFE channel, I recommend turning <b>ON all subwoofers</b>, and using <b>only the front full-range speakers</b> as optional additional support.</p><p>If you boost LFE by <b>+10 dB</b> or you listen at extremely loud levels, it is safer to remove the front speakers from LFE support. Be especially careful with bookshelf speakers.</p><h2><a id="main"></a>Main Speaker Setup</h2><p>I prefer conservative support, so this section assumes that approach.</p><ul><li><b>Group 1 (L/R):</b> Enable mutual L/R support (left and right support each other).</li><li><b>Subwoofers:</b> Keep all subwoofer support ON (including for full-range groups).</li><li><b>Other support speakers (surround/height, etc.):</b> Many are ON by default; I recommend turning them OFF as a baseline.</li><li><b>Group 2 (Center):</b> No L/R pair, so enable <b>subwoofers only</b>.</li><li><b>Group 3+:</b> If paired, treat like Group 1. If unpaired, treat like Group 2.</li></ul><h2><a id="target"></a>Target Curve Adjustment</h2><p>Apply the same bass target curve to all channels. Save multiple variants (e.g., <b>+2 / +3 / +4</b>) into different slots and pick what feels best.</p><p>If you save a custom curve, you can load it in bulk, which is convenient. Since you have three slots, it’s useful to prepare variations that differ only in bass so you can switch depending on the source, volume, or mood.</p><p>I also strongly recommend creating a movie preset that boosts <b>only the LFE group</b> (e.g., <b>+10 dB</b>) separate from your normal settings. Switching presets can dramatically change impact and match different content.</p><h2><a id="enjoy"></a>Enjoy your ART 🎶</h2><p>You can freely adjust support level and support range. If you want more support speakers, start from this baseline and add gradually.</p><p>If you love endless experimentation… welcome to the swamp.

<title>Dirac ART Field Report: JBL Room in 2.0 Mode</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <div style="font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.65;color:#222;max-width:880px;margin:0 auto;"><div style="background:#f8f8f8;border:1px solid #eee;padding:.6rem .8rem;margin:.5rem 0 1.2rem;"><strong>Table of Contents</strong><ul style="margin:.2rem 0 .2rem 1.1rem;"><li><a href="#overview">Overview</a></li><li><a href="#twoch">Effect in 2.0 Configuration</a></li><li><a href="#spectrum">Spectrum Changes</a></li><li><a href="#subs">Subwoofer Integration Test</a></li><li><a href="#listening">Listening Impressions and Thoughts</a></li><li><a href="#conclusion">Conclusion</a></li></ul></div><h2 id="overview" style="font-size:1.35rem;margin:2rem 0 .6rem;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding-bottom:.25rem;">Overview</h2><p>I tested Dirac ART in its minimal setup: a 2.0 stereo configuration.<br>Speakers used: JBL Project K2 S9900 (2.0ch).<br>Compared traditional Dirac Live Room Correction (RC) with Dirac ART.</p><h2 id="twoch" style="font-size:1.35rem;margin:2rem 0 .6rem;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding-bottom:.25rem;">Effect in 2.0 Configuration</h2><p>The results were surprisingly clear. Despite using only two speakers, standing-wave dips almost disappeared. Measurements showed the left and right speakers compensating for each other’s missing bands.</p><p>Although the frequency response differences appear modest, the audible change was dramatic. When ART was enabled, the sound thickened as if a subwoofer had been added, while Room Correction felt hollow in comparison.</p><p>To achieve similar low-end weight with RC, the target curve had to be lifted significantly—and even with a subwoofer added, it only roughly matched ART without one. Furthermore, low-frequency balance between left and right became nearly perfect; both sides merged into one cohesive, solid mass.</p><!-- ① RC単体（2.0） --><div style="border:1px dashed #d8d8d8;background:#fafafa;padding:.75rem;margin:1rem 0;text-align:center;"><div style="height:220px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:#f2f2f2;color:#888;font-size:.95rem;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;margin:0 auto;max-width:90%;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/6b/5b/j/o3070184015702963369.jpg"><img alt="" height="252" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/6b/5b/j/o3070184015702963369.jpg" width="420"></a></div><div style="color:#666;font-size:.92rem;margin-top:.4rem;">RC (2.0): visible standing-wave dips remain, giving a lighter and less uniform low-end compared to ART.</div></div><!-- ② ART単体（2.0） --><div style="border:1px dashed #d8d8d8;background:#fafafa;padding:.75rem;margin:1rem 0;text-align:center;"><div style="height:220px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:#f2f2f2;color:#888;font-size:.95rem;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;margin:0 auto;max-width:90%;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/c7/95/j/o2999162515702964007.jpg"><img alt="" height="228" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/c7/95/j/o2999162515702964007.jpg" width="420"></a></div><div style="color:#666;font-size:.92rem;margin-top:.4rem;">ART (2.0): L/R alone smooth out standing-wave dips, creating a seamless unified bass field.</div></div><h2 id="spectrum" style="font-size:1.35rem;margin:2rem 0 .6rem;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding-bottom:.25rem;">Spectrum Changes</h2><p>Even with only two speakers, the transfer characteristics—including residual decay—improved significantly. It’s remarkable how effectively ART operated within a minimal 2.0 setup.</p><!-- ③ スペクトログラム RC（2.0） --><div style="border:1px dashed #d8d8d8;background:#fafafa;padding:.75rem;margin:1rem 0;text-align:center;"><div style="height:220px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:#f2f2f2;color:#888;font-size:.95rem;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;margin:0 auto;max-width:90%;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/cc/e7/j/o3040167015702950874.jpg"><img alt="" height="231" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/cc/e7/j/o3040167015702950874.jpg" width="420"></a></div><div style="color:#666;font-size:.92rem;margin-top:.4rem;">RC spectrogram: longer decay tails and uneven low-frequency energy.</div></div><!-- ④ スペクトログラム ART（2.0） --><div style="border:1px dashed #d8d8d8;background:#fafafa;padding:.75rem;margin:1rem 0;text-align:center;"><div style="height:220px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:#f2f2f2;color:#888;font-size:.95rem;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;margin:0 auto;max-width:90%;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/2a/c4/j/o3055171915702950893.jpg"><img alt="" height="236" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/2a/c4/j/o3055171915702950893.jpg" width="420"></a></div><div style="color:#666;font-size:.92rem;margin-top:.4rem;">ART spectrogram: shorter low-frequency decay and smoother energy slope.</div></div><h2 id="subs" style="font-size:1.35rem;margin:2rem 0 .6rem;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding-bottom:.25rem;">Subwoofer Integration Test</h2><p>Next, I added a JTR 18-inch (20–150 Hz, infra-bass enabled) and an HSU 15-inch (25–150 Hz). With traditional Bass Control, mixed-performance subs often caused the stronger one to be limited by the weaker. Under ART, that limitation vanished—JTR maintained full impact while HSU supported naturally. The two subs acted as a single integrated system both in measurement and in listening.</p><!-- ⑤ デュアルサブ（ART） --><div style="border:1px dashed #d8d8d8;background:#fafafa;padding:.75rem;margin:1rem 0;text-align:center;"><div style="height:220px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:#f2f2f2;color:#888;font-size:.95rem;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;margin:0 auto;max-width:90%;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/ad/43/j/o1211059115702960459.jpg"><img alt="" height="205" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/ad/43/j/o1211059115702960459.jpg" width="420"></a></div><div style="color:#666;font-size:.92rem;margin-top:.4rem;">Dual subs with ART: unified low-end without loss of transient sharpness.</div></div><h2 id="listening" style="font-size:1.35rem;margin:2rem 0 .6rem;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding-bottom:.25rem;">Listening Impressions and Thoughts</h2><p>The difference was easy to hear. Bass attack became faster, imaging more stable, and the JTR’s strength complemented the HSU’s warmth. Instead of clashing, they filled each other’s phase gaps naturally—a textbook example of MIMO control realized in practice.</p><h2 id="conclusion" style="font-size:1.35rem;margin:2rem 0 .6rem;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding-bottom:.25rem;">Conclusion</h2><p>While ART is often believed to shine only in large multichannel systems, it can also optimize room wave behavior in a simple 2.0 setup. Even subs with very different characteristics can cooperate effectively under ART’s coordinated control, enhancing each other rather than competing.</p></div>

Compared with the previous Dirac Live Bass Control (BC), there was only a slight change in the frequency response curve.</p><div style="border:1px dashed #d8d8d8;background:#fafafa;padding:.75rem;margin:1rem 0;"><div style="height:220px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:#f2f2f2;color:#888;font-size:.95rem;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251030/22/kawauso9991/3f/04/j/o1507083015706363377.jpg"><img alt="" height="231" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251030/22/kawauso9991/3f/04/j/o1507083015706363377.jpg" width="420"></a></div><div style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 0.92rem; margin-top: 0.4rem; text-align: center;">The graph shows no drastic difference, but ART looks a bit flatter overall. (The dip below 20 Hz on ART was due to forgetting to enable playback below 20 Hz.)</div></div><p>Even so, when looking at the spectrum view, the decay of low-frequency energy is clearly shorter.

It feels as if the physical boundaries of the room have disappeared. Yet the mid and high frequencies remain natural—the overall sound hasn’t become lighter or thinner at all.</p><h2 id="experience" style="font-size:1.35rem;margin:2rem 0 .6rem;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding-bottom:.25rem;">Listening Experience</h2><p>All the careful tuning I had done over long hours with BC—ART surpassed it effortlessly with almost default settings. Most surprising was how the 100–200 Hz standing-wave dip completely vanished. Though I expected ART to focus on low frequencies, its effect extended well into the mid-bass. As a result, vocals gained body and focus, and transients snapped into place.</p><h2 id="perception" style="font-size:1.35rem;margin:2rem 0 .6rem;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding-bottom:.25rem;">Perceptual Differences: Quietly Louder</h2><p>With Bass Control, filling in standing-wave dips often meant stronger boosts, and that reduced headroom—turning up the volume eventually felt fatiguing.</p><p>With ART, that sensation disappeared completely. I could raise the volume another <strong>6 dB</strong> beyond where things used to sound “too loud,” and instead of harshness, the sound became tighter and more powerful. The room was no longer being pushed by the sound—the sound was breathing within the room, perfectly organized.</p><div style="border:1px dashed #d8d8d8;background:#fafafa;padding:.75rem;margin:1rem 0;"><div style="height:220px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:#f2f2f2;color:#888;font-size:.95rem;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/82/ce/j/o1520083515702938113.jpg"><img alt="" height="231" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/82/ce/j/o1520083515702938113.jpg" width="420"></a><br>&nbsp;</div><div style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 0.92rem; margin-top: 0.4rem; text-align: center;">Bass Control distortion: distortion rises as the system boosts dips.</div></div><div style="border:1px dashed #d8d8d8;background:#fafafa;padding:.75rem;margin:1rem 0;"><div style="height:220px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:#f2f2f2;color:#888;font-size:.95rem;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;"><a href="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/24/1e/j/o1490082515702938094.jpg"><img alt="" height="233" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20251025/17/kawauso9991/24/1e/j/o1490082515702938094.jpg" width="420"></a><br><br>&nbsp;</div><div style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 0.92rem; margin-top: 0.4rem; text-align: center;">ART distortion: the 100–200 Hz dip is filled with minimal added distortion.</div></div><h2 id="summary" style="font-size:1.35rem;margin:2rem 0 .6rem;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding-bottom:.25rem;">Summary</h2><p>Dirac ART turned out to be far more than a “low-frequency alignment tool.” Once installed, it became clear that ART reorganizes the <strong>flow of energy throughout the entire room</strong>.

<title>Dirac ART: Beyond Room Correction</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <h2>Introduction</h2>    <p>      Dirac ART (Active Room Treatment) is not about “correcting” speakers. It <strong>re-designs the room</strong>.      Conventional EQ and Dirac Live adjust each loudspeaker in isolation. ART treats all loudspeakers and subwoofers as a      <strong>single cooperative system</strong>, reconstructing the acoustic field itself.    </p>  <section id="conventional">    <h2>Conventional Room Correction</h2>    <p>      EQ and Dirac Live measure one speaker at a time and correct level, timing, and frequency response. This improves on-axis balance,      yet room-born phenomena such as <em>standing waves</em> and early reflections remain largely unaddressed. The result can be bass      that varies by seat or entire bands that disappear at certain positions.    </p>  </section>  <section id="art">    <h2>ART: Re-engineering the Room</h2>    <p>      ART flips the logic. Using <strong>MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output)</strong> control, it computes how every speaker should emit sound      (amplitude, phase, time) so that the <strong>combined wavefield</strong> in the room approaches a target:    </p>    <ul>      <li>Excess energy is tempered by other channels with appropriate opposite-phase components.</li>      <li>Deficits are reinforced by nearby channels in phase.</li>      <li>Interference is minimized and waves align to decay in an orderly way.</li>    </ul>    <p class="caption">Net effect: a cohesive, uniform listening area with reduced seat-to-seat variance.</p>  </section>  <section id="not-anc">    <h2>Not Noise-Cancelling</h2>    <p>      Unlike ANC that cancels sound at a point, ART shapes the <em>wavefield over an area</em>. It is not erasing sound;      it is coordinating interference among channels.    </p>  </section>  <section id="not-absorption">    <h2>Not Absorption</h2>    <p>      Bass traps reduce energy. ART redistributes it. Shorter RT60 and cleaner waterfall tails are side effects of      <strong>ordered decay</strong>, not added absorption.    </p>  </section>  <section id="static">    <h2>Static, Not Adaptive</h2>    <p>      Filters are precomputed from measurements and applied statically during playback. No per-track AI wizardry, just      well-constrained math that yields consistent naturalness.    </p>  </section>  <section id="history">    <h2>MIMO Control Existed on Paper</h2>    <p>      Academic work on multichannel active room equalization dates back to the 2000s. The blockers were computation,      measurement practicality, and stability (ill-conditioned inverses). Dirac’s innovation was to make the math behave      on consumer DSPs, likely via band-segmented, stability-aware optimization. Details remain proprietary.    </p>  </section>  <section id="results">    <h2>Observed Results</h2>    <ul>      <li>Standing waves reduced; bass response more uniform across seats.</li>      <li>Lower variance when moving off the main listening position.</li>      <li>Perception of sound originating from the speakers, not the room.</li>      <li>Shorter decay tails; energy distribution appears cleaner on plots.</li>    </ul>  </section>  <section id="compare">    <h2>Conventional vs ART</h2>    <table>      <thead>        <tr>          <th>Feature</th>          <th>Conventional (EQ / Dirac Live)</th>          <th>Dirac ART</th>        </tr>      </thead>      <tbody>        <tr>          <td>Target</td>          <td>Individual speakers</td>          <td>All speakers jointly</td>        </tr>        <tr>          <td>Control</td>          <td>SIMO</td>          <td>MIMO</td>        </tr>        <tr>          <td>Focus</td>          <td>Frequency response</td>          <td>Spatial wavefield</td>        </tr>        <tr>          <td>Method</td>          <td>Isolated correction</td>          <td>Cooperative control</td>        </tr>        <tr>          <td>Outcome</td>          <td>Flatter magnitude</td>          <td>Cohesive field, orderly decay</td>        </tr>      </tbody>    </table>  </section>  <section id="conclusion">    <h2>Conclusion</h2>    <p>      Dirac ART doesn’t fix a room — it <strong>conducts</strong> it. It brings the long-standing idea of multi-speaker spatial control      out of the lab and into real living rooms.    </p>  </section>
