The rooms are truly outstanding environments for music listening and appreciation while serving as state-of-the-art settings for critical assessment of audio component performance.ĭirac Live is a superb up-to-the-minute calibration and optimisation DSP platform which corrects speaker frequency response – a target response for the ‘perfect speaker in the perfect room’ – in relation to the listening environment. The listening sessions were to be conducted in Arcam’s new listening/auditioning rooms.
While Arcam’s Export Sales Manager, the jovial Scot George Robertson, was my first-contact host, the presentations were, in the main, conducted by the highly knowledgeable music-loving Andy Moore, Arcam’s Product Manager, who had prepared scheduled sessions covering Dirac Live and its benefits across a number of differing system contexts. I had the privilege of visiting Arcam’s headquarters in Waterbeach, Cambridge as part of the company’s launch of updated Dirac Live functionality across a growing range of its products. It’s one of the UK’s main centres of knowledge and development and, as far as our industry is concerned, it is home to a number of specialised audio technology companies of worldwide importance.Ĭambridge-based Arcam is a global force in audio’s upper mid-level where the company’s highly-engineered products also offer superb value-for-money. Cambridge University has been the heart of its namesake city a metropolis steadily growing for the last decade or two and where the juxtaposition of historic landmarks and modern technology abound. All this, within a melange of the general workings, infrastructures and service mechanisms that are required for any city to function and indeed prosper.
It’s the mix of youth’s energy, stern academia and a predominance of… intelligence.
