Dirac Spaces Launches To Redefine Immersive Car Audio

Digital Audio company Dirac has announced the launch of Dirac Spaces, a new automotive audio solution designed to recreate the acoustic properties of real-world environments inside the vehicle. Dirac Spaces makes its debut in the NIO ES9 flagship SUV,  where it is powered in combination with the NIO Lyra sound system.

By leveraging advanced acoustic modeling and real-time signal processing, the solution enables the recreation of distinct listening environments, from intimate studio settings to expansive concert halls, in order to deliver a more natural, immersive, and engaging experience for passengers. By measuring both the vehicle and a target space, the solution applies Dirac’s patented proprietary MIMO sound field control technology to accurately recreate the actual acoustic space inside a vehicle.

Dirac Spaces is available in two configurations, giving automakers flexibility in how they design and deliver in-car audio experiences:

• Signature Spaces enable OEMs to partner with iconic venues to offer branded acoustic environments tailored to their vehicles.
• Designed Spaces include a set of curated environments based on acoustic measurements of real-world venues and engineered by Dirac, such as Balanced Room, Warm Stage, and Grand Hall, each offering a distinct spatial and tonal experience.

“Today, cars are one of the most important listening environments, but they’ve traditionally been limited by the physical constraints of the cabin,” said Anders Storm, Dirac CEO. “With Dirac Spaces, we are redefining the in-car listening experience by recreating the acoustic signature of real-world environments inside the vehicle, delivering a more natural, immersive, and emotionally engaging listening experience.”
