App delivers sound quality on par with costly replacement headphones from the standard Apple® Earphones and EarPods
Uppsala, Sweden - November 12th,
2012-Dirac Research AB, sound technology provider to Rolls Royce,
BMW, Naim Audio, and other world leading brands, has announced the
introduction of an app for Apple iOS devices called the Dirac HD
Player that optimizes the acoustic properties and overall
performance of the standard iPhone® and iPod touch® Earphones and
EarPods.
Dirac's esteemed audio engineers,
known for their work in luxury cars, digital cinema, and
high-performance HiFi, have tailored their patented digital
technology to overcome the acoustic limitations inherent to the
earphones supplied by Apple with these devices. The Dirac HD Player
app is an alternative to buying costly high performance earphones
that can be easily lost or damaged through the course of normal
use. The app is compatible with the iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and iPod touch
(fourth and fifth generation).
The launch of the Dirac HD Player
marks the world premier of this type of advanced sound processing
embedded within a smartphone app. Dirac HD Sound is a time domain
controller that improves the impulse response and frequency
response of a transducer. The app targets every iPhone and iPod
touch user who ever considered buying a new set of earphones for
improved sound. The app is both a green and cost effective solution
that is available in a free Lite version as well as a full version with extended functionality for
$2.99.
"The Dirac HD Player is compatible with the iTunes® library-you
just listen to your music and create playlists like you are
accustomed to doing, while the optimization runs in the background.
There is no need for any technical know-how," says Dr. Mathias
Johansson, CEO at Dirac. "Our advanced algorithms make the earphone
actually perform better, producing the most clear, natural sound
possible from these devices. You cannot achieve this with legacy
solutions such as psychoacoustic sound effects or graphic
equalizers. The Dirac HD Player addresses a real need for music
listeners on the world's most popular portable devices," Johansson
concluded.
