Specifications
Flexible Audio Processing Modes
The RMC-1 offers the ultimate combination of advanced surround sound processing modes and
purist audiophile options. In addition to the latest high-resolution and immersive object oriented
surround-sound modes, Reference Stereo Mode provides absolutely pure audiophile sound with
no processing whatsoever, and our refined Direct Mode includes minimal processing options, but
still offers bass management.
Powerful Manual Room Correction
For those who prefer to do their own room adjustments, the RMC-1 provides powerful manual
parametric equalization controls. The RMC-1 allows you to create two entirely independent
EQ presets; each preset includes 11 fully adjustable bands of parametric equalization for each
speaker. For each input, you get to decide whether to use the automatic room correction
provided by Dirac Live or one of your two user-defined presets.
Integration With Room EQ Wizard (REW)
Room EQ Wizard is a very popular free software program that allows you to perform many
different measurements on your audio system, analyze the results, produce a wide variety of
reports and graphs, and calculate correction parameters for use with a parametric equalizer.
Correction filter settings generated by REW can now be imported directly into the RMC-1, and
filter settings from the RMC-1 can be exported directly to REW. Parametric equalizer filter settings
are imported and exported using a standard XML file format, which allows the settings to be
edited externally and then re-imported, or stored for later analysis and use.
Dirac Live Automatic Room Correction System
The RMC-1 features Dirac Live™, the most advanced automatic room correction system available
for both audiophile and home theater systems. Dirac Live performs a series of measurements,
then uses sophisticated mathematics to calculate a set of filters which correct both the frequency
and time domain response of your room and speakers. The result is crystal clear, accurate sound
reproduction, with a cohesive sound stage and excellent rendition of transients - even in less than
ideal rooms. (The latest version of Dirac Live software for the RMC-1 is currently in the final stages
of development and will be available soon.)
Convenient Tone Controls
In addition to manual parametric equalizers, the RMC-1 also includes true Tone Controls. Both
Bass and Treble Controls include fully configurable turnover points, and the Tone Controls are
available both as temporary adjustments (Tone Trims) and as persistent controls (which remain
set until changed). The Tone Controls and Tone Trims operate independently of each other, and
both can be used in conjunction with either Dirac Live or the Manual EQ Presets enabled.
