Dirac’s sound optimization solution corrects the impulse and frequency response of any headphone to upgrade its musical staging, clarity, voice intelligibility, and bass fidelity. The solution reveals even the most subtle beats, tones and sounds that can be lost during the playback process to produce a listening experience more true to the artists’ intent.
The Dirac and Klipsch engineering teams collaborated closely to tailor and customize Dirac’s sound optimization solutions specifically to Klipsch earphone hardware to ensure peak performance and maximum degree of audio upgrade.
“Klipsch is the preferred choice of audiophiles and aficionados around the world, thanks in large part to our unwavering commitment to engineering excellence and innovation,” said Vlad Grodzinskiy, Sr. Product Manager at Klipsch. “By working with Dirac, we combine our decades of headphone expertise with their digital audio expertise to introduce to our customers a new level of listening experience across Klipsch headphones.
