2.1 REFERENCE SOUNDSTAGE CALIBRATION | FLAT RATE: $1250.00
Every deployment vector initializes, calibrates, and hard-locks three distinct, firmware-isolated acoustic profiles directly onto your playback system hardware chip:Slot 1: The Social Master Curve Engineered to throw a wide, horizontal phase-aligned soundstage across your complete lounge environment for multi-listener clarity.Slot 2: The Microscope
Concentrates the digital signal processing chip entirely within the room's boundary reflection zone to isolate extreme instrumental detail, locking a razor-sharp, holographic 3D soundstage precisely across your central seating layout.Slot 3: The Restorative Shelf
A specialized, low-fatigue calibration profile designed to smooth out intense low-frequency pressure, allowing for an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience during extended, stress-free reference playback sessions.System Requirements: Sessions require a dedicated Dirac-enabled hardware terminal (e.g., miniDSP processor, network streaming amplifier, or compatible source component). Non-equipped environments will be itemized and provisioned with an external processing block from our hardware catalog at $250.00 per unit implementation engineering.Dirac License Requirement: Dirac-Ready hardware (e.g., Marantz M1, Denon Home Amp, NAD) does not include a stock license. Clients must purchase the standalone Full-Bandwidth License ($249) via Dirac prior to the session to support your custom 3-Slot curves.
