New update brings advanced room correction to the wireless streaming amp and unlocks precision sound tuning for any listening space.
MAY 6, 2026, TORONTO, CANADA – Bluesound, the original hi-res multi-room audio brand, today announced that the latest generation of its acclaimed POWERNODE (N331) wireless streaming amplifier now supports Dirac Live, making Dirac's industry-leading room correction technology available to users. With this update, listeners can analyze their room’s acoustic properties and optimize speaker performance for a more accurate and balanced listening experience.
Dirac Live is widely recognized for its ability to correct both frequency response and impulse response, going beyond traditional EQ to deliver a more accurate and natural listening experience. By addressing common acoustic challenges such as reflections, standing waves, and uneven bass, Dirac Live helps eliminate distortions introduced by the listening environment itself. The result is tighter low-end performance, improved clarity across frequencies, and a more precise, lifelike soundstage.
With this integration, POWERNODE users can now fine tune their system with a level of control and precision typically reserved for high-end audio systems, ensuring consistently optimized sound regardless of room size or layout.
“Great sound isn’t just about the right amp or speakers—it’s how that gear interacts with the room,” said Matt Simmonds, Brand Manager at Bluesound. “By bringing Dirac Live to the POWERNODE, we’re giving listeners more tools to unlock the full potential of their Bluesound system, no matter the space.”
To enable Dirac Live room correction, users can purchase the Dirac Live Calibration kit from bluesound.com or an authorized Bluesound retailer, which includes a high-precision measurement microphone for accurate room analysis. A Dirac Live software license is also available for purchase. To buy and activate a Dirac Live license, visit dirac.com/brands/bluesound.
Bluesound now offers support for Dirac Live across their line of wireless stereo components, including the NODE, NODE ICON, and POWERNODE EDGE. For a list of compatible of devices including older generations and models, visit bluesound.com/pages/dirac.
