Dirac Live Room Correction
A fundamental feature of the AV-860 is the incorporation of Dirac Room Correction technology. This high-performance professional technology is designed to improve acoustic performance in your listening room for the best possible sound. It improves staging and produces music and vocals with extraordinary clarity and precision.
It improves impulse response in all areas of the room which creates a vaster soundstage that simply expands the room. With Dirac room acoustic software, you can tailor the target response, and adjust the sound of each channel separately to cater to your own tastes and preferences. The beauty of this technology is its flexible and reliable duty to create the ultimate home cinema audio experience.
Precise and Controlled Sound
Thanks to Dirac, the AV860 processor is able to fill a wide and expansive soundstage with precise and controlled sound. Thanks to their years of hi-fi expertise, Arcam’s multi-channel processors are designed to meet the high-quality sound standards set by their two-channel counterparts. This means that the AV860 really does sound as good as can get, most effectively enhanced by Dirac.
Dirac Live
A fundamental feature of the AV-860 is the incorporation of Dirac. This Room Correction technology is designed to improve acoustic performance in your listening room for the best possible sound. It improves staging and produces music and vocals with extraordinary clarity and precision. By utilising a reference microphone, DIRAC listens to the response of your speakers in the room and then you can make adjustments to the response of them (within the capabilities of the speaker) so you can ensure that (and while no one really has the perfect room) the speakers perform there absolute best in any given scenario. This aids the immersive experience you get from your system, further integrating you with whatever source you choose. We can also come out and visit you with a XTZ microphone (the one DIRAC recommend) for a nominal fee.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
As well as Dirac Live which can be used 2.1 and 7.1.4 setups, this processor features the latest surround sound modes for the ultimate home cinema experience – Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The inclusion of these object-based technologies are well placed in order to deliver enthralling sound that can be placed, controlled and moved in different points around the room, even overhead, for a fully immersive surround sound experience that places the audience in the heart of the action. Atmos is the most popular and both requires speakers in certain positions for the cinema like experience and decodes the soundtrack when it is mixed down in the studio. Along with multiple HDMI inputs/outputs, 4K UHD, HDR and 3D video support, the AV860 is exactly where you want to go to bring your audio and visual entertainment to life.
