Dirac and Klipsch Team Up to Equip New Klipsch Flexus Core 300 Soundbar with Dirac Live. The collaboration between the two prestige audio pioneers marks Dirac’s entry into the soundbar market, after years of dominating the high-end AV receiver, controller, streamer, and loudspeaker markets.
Swedish digital audio pioneer announced its debut into the soundbar market through its collaboration with leading tech-driven audio company Klipsch. Recently, Klipsch unveiled its all-new Klipsch Flexus Core 300 soundbar which includes Dirac’s award-winning Dirac Live Room Correction technology.
This soundbar market debut reinforces Dirac’s position as the industry’s leading provider of digital room correction technologies for the home audio market – across all product categories, price points, and listening applications.
“Today’s definition of a listening space has expanded from a dedicated home theater to any room in the house – living rooms, basements, home offices, and more – which has created new challenges in terms of high-fidelity audio reproduction,” said Fredric Tapper, Dirac’s VP of Home & Pro Audio. “This soundbar collaboration with Klipsch resolves these challenges by delivering high-fidelity audio across any room, or any listening space, irrespective of the room’s dimensions or complexities. Premium audio is for the many, not just the few, and our debut into the soundbar market underscores our commitment to democratizing high-fidelity audio across listening spaces and product categories.”
Featuring Dirac’s award-winning Dirac Live Room Correction solution, the Klipsch Flexus Core 300 delivers the full 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos experience from one discrete box – and does so with 4 x 2.25” front-firing drivers, 4 x 4” high-output woofers, and 1 x 0.75” horn-loaded tweeter for front surround and center speaker channels.
The soundbar also features 2 x 2.25” up-firing discrete full-range drivers for the rear surround channel sound – and supports Airplay 2, Spotify, and Chromecast Streaming services.
Powered by patented technologies, Dirac Live is the market-leading room correction solution, automatically addressing common acoustic challenges that all home audio systems have, but hardware alone can’t address – or takes too much time, expertise, or cost to do so. The availability of Dirac Live is, in turn, helping to democratize access to premium audio across any listening space irrespective of room complexities.
The software is unique in that it corrects for both the magnitude and phase of the entire sound system, including the room itself – resulting in more transparent, balanced sound, tighter bass, improved staging, and enhanced clarity.
With listening habits changing, and rooms in every home now functioning as listening spaces – for music, movies, TV, gaming, and podcasts – room acoustics is more of a challenge than ever before. Dirac Live helps manufacturers to address these challenges by delivering enhanced audio experiences for every type of sound system – now including soundbars.
“Our long-standing collaboration with Dirac continues to push the boundaries of innovation with category-defining products like the Flexus Core 300,” said Paul Jacobs, CEO of Klipsch. “Dirac shares our belief in prioritizing exceptional performance and extraordinary value in equal measure. Today, we set the benchmark once again for premium audio.”
