Following Bluesound’s Powernode receiving Dirac Live in its latest firmware update, Bass Control is on its way for select NAD BluOS-enabled amplifiers. This brings with it advanced low-frequency optimisation and intelligent subwoofer integration to users for the first time.
BluOS version 4.16.6, which deploys today, includes Dirac Live Bass Control for NAD’s newest generation of premium streaming amplifiers, including the NAD M33 V2, NAD M10 V3, and NAD C 658 BluOS Streaming DAC.
Additionally, we’re told that Dirac Live Bass Control support also extends to previous generations of the M33 and M10.
By intelligently optimising speakers, subwoofers, and room acoustics, Dirac Live Bass Control promises tighter, smoother, and more immersive bass performance throughout the listening environment.
Dirac Live Bass Control is an advanced room optimisation solution, powered by AI, that works alongside Dirac Live Room Correction to analyse both frequency and timing behaviour.
Morten Nielsen, Product Manager at NAD Electronics, told StereoNET:
With Dirac Live Bass Control, we’re continuing to elevate the NAD listening experience by bringing more precise and intelligently optimised bass performance to our most advanced BluOS streaming amplifiers. 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.
Owners of compatible NAD streaming amplifiers should receive a notification on their components indicating the update is ready to install, starting May 19 2026.
