NAD Electronics Introduces Dirac Live Bass Control for BluOS Streaming Amplifiers

Elevate your audio setup with NAD’s Dirac Live Bass Control, delivering tighter, smoother bass and seamless subwoofer integration on select BluOS amps.

Experience Bass Like Never Before

If you’ve ever craved that perfect, balanced bass in your home audio setup, NAD Electronics just made it a whole lot easier—and smarter. On May 19, 2026, NAD rolled out support for Dirac Live Bass Control on a range of its BluOS-enabled streaming amplifiers, ushering in a new era of low-frequency optimization. This means your bass will not only sound tighter and smoother but also blend intelligently with your speakers and room acoustics for a truly immersive experience.

What Exactly Is Dirac Live Bass Control?

Step into the world of bass perfection. Dirac Live Bass Control isn’t just another bass enhancer—it’s an advanced room optimization technology that works hand-in-hand with Dirac Live Room Correction. By analyzing frequency and timing, it calibrates single or multiple subwoofers to deliver tighter, more accurate bass, eliminating those pesky “boomy” spots or uneven sound zones that can ruin your listening vibe.

“Our advanced bass control technology co-optimizes subwoofers and speakers, creating a seamless blend at the crossover point. This innovation eliminates seat-to-seat sound variation, delivering impactful bass that’s free of unwanted reflections and boominess – making premium bass quality accessible to everyone, from professional installers and audiophiles to everyday consumers.”
Rikard Hellerfelt, VP and Head of Consumer Electronics at Dirac

So whether you're a casual music lover or a home theater enthusiast craving cinematic soundscapes, this tech upgrade brings a new level of precision and immersion.

Dirac Live Bass Control is available starting with BluOS version 4.16.6. The latest NAD streaming amps benefiting from this update include:

• NAD M33 V2
• NAD M10 V3

Plus, previous generations such as the original M33 and M10 models also support this bass control feature.

This update not only enhances our newest generation of streaming amplifiers like the M33 V2 and M10 V3, but it also reinforces our commitment to supporting older generation products through the BluOS platform.”
