The interaction between your sound system and the physical layout of your room has a huge impact on sound quality. Dirac Live Room Correction applies state-of-the-art, patented algorithms to analyze and digitally reduce room impact and enhance speaker performance.

7 Channels of Class G Amplification 

Class G implements multiple power supplies to deliver the first 20W per channel in pure Class A, with no crossover distortion. The second power supply drives the amplifier up to maximum output for dynamic output with a peak total power consumption of 1.5kW.

DANTE Network Audio 

Bridge the gap between residential and commercial applications. All 16 channels of processed audio can be routed on a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable over a standard IP network. DANTE is easy to set up and compatible with DANTE enabled JBL Synthesis amplifiers.

Network and Bluetooth Streaming 

Play your favourite music in Hi-Res and MQA over Ethernet or Wi-Fi with Roon®, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect or with the Harman MusicLife app. For instant playback from your portable device, the SDR-38 includes Chromecast® built-in, Apple® AirPlay 2TM and Bluetooth with aptX®HD.

Designed for Integration 

With an available rack mount kit, DANTE, eARC and an internal configuration page, Dirac Live, IP, IR RS232 and iOS and Android App control the install, set up, and calibration has never been easier.

Logic 16 

Logic 16 will up-mix any input source from mono up to 15.1, including all Dolby formats with natural astonishing 3D sound. In addition, Dolby, DTS Neural:X, and Auro-3D upmixers are on board.
