DIRAC LIVE

The proprietary Dirac Live is integrated with your M33. Dirac Live® is a 
patented room correction technology that not only corrects the frequency 
response, but also the impulse response of a room’s loudspeakers. Dirac 
Live provides true impulse response correction over a large listening area, 
improving the depth, positioning and distinction of individual voices and 
instruments. Using multiple measurement and mixed phase correction, 
Dirac Live helps create a natural, realistic and transparent sound with 
tighter bass and reduced room modes, in a way previously not possible. 

Initiate Dirac Live by following below Setup Requirements. 

M33 
• 

Update your M33 to the latest firmware. 

• 

Speaker Configuration must match actual speaker setup – turn off 
speakers that are not available. 

• 

Both your computer and M33 must be connected to the same network. 

MICROPHONE 
• 

The supplied measurement microphone can be connected to either 
the MIC or USB input of your computer or the USB input of the M33. 

• 

If the measurement microphone will be connected to the USB 
input of your computer or the M33, ensure that the measurement 
microphone, phone jack adapter and USB MIC Sound adapter are all 
connected together. The USB MIC Sound adapter is not necessary if the 
measurement microphone will be connected to the MIC input of your 
computer.

• 

Minimize external noise such as talking, opening/closing of doors or 
windows and playback of sound during the measurement. 

• 

Use a microphone stand to firmly place the microphone in the 
indicated measurement positions. 

COMPUTER (WINDOWS, macOS) 
• 

Both your computer and M33 must be connected to the same network. 

• 

Any active firewalls should allow HTTP (normal WWW access). 

• 

Turn off any computer programs that may make any noise. 

•

MASTER QUALITY AUTHENTICATED

Master Quality Authenticated 
(MQA) is a revolutionary end-to-
end technology built into M33 that 
captures and delivers master quality 
audio. M33 includes a powerful 

decoder and audio renderer for the MQA system. This ensures that MQA-
encoded audio files sound exactly like the source. 

In the BluOS app, the MQA indicator displays green or blue to indicate that 
the unit is decoding and playing an MQA file. It displays green to indicate 
decoding and playback of a MQA file and denotes provenance to ensure 
that the sound is identical to that of the source material. It displays blue to 
indicate playback of MQA Studio file that has either been approved in the 
studio by the artist/ producer or has been verified by the copyright owner. 

MQA® is a trademark of MQA Limited. 

MAKING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR M33

Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone and iPod), Android devices, Kindle Fire and
