I figure it might be handy to corral some Unison information.

Characteristics of Dirac Unison
- A set of main speakers are selected by the user.
- For example the main speakers can be the 5 main channels of a home cinema system: L,C,R,Ls,Rs.
The sweetspot size, the number of required support speakers, the upper support cutoff frequency, and T60 of the room are related.
- To each main speaker, a set of support speakers are selected.
- If a main speaker has no support, then Unison = Live for that speaker.
- A support speaker can be one of the other main speakers, or it can be a dedicated support speaker, for example a subwoofer.
- The frequency range where speakers are allowed to operate as support is typically limited to below 500 Hz.
- Goal: Improve the time and frequency response of the main speaker, using all of the assigned loudspeaker resources.

S&V: Are any new home audio/theater-related products or technical refinements on the horizon?
MJ: We are currently working on a number of improvements for the Dirac Live software, in addition to a few algorithm refinements. In fact, there will be a completely new Dirac Live calibration software coming out in a few months.
Even more exciting, 2017 will be the year that we finally showcase a Dirac Unison calibration tool for hi-fi use. Our challenge and our goal with this project has been to retain the performance benefits of Dirac Unison while simultaneously creating an intuitive, not-too-technical calibration tool. 2017 marks the year that we deliver on this goal, which we at Dirac feel constitutes a major milestone in a new generation of digital room-correction systems. While expectations for Dirac Unison are quite high, we’re confident that it will not disappoint!
