I have my code.
The Mic was due the 29th., but those rascals at UPS moved it up to the 24th. Just in time for XMAS!

Got my key code e-mail after work Friday. I set up my account with Dirac on Saturday. I have not received my mic kit yet or received an e-mail saying it was shipped, but reading through here, I would presume that an e-mail may not be forthcoming. I'm hoping that I receive the mic within the next week or so. I've been looking for a boom mic stand locally as mail ordering may take too long at this point. Best Buy had one for $20.99, but it's pretty much sold out in store near me. Guitar Center has one for $39.99. Anyone have an idea of where else to check on a local front? Use Amazon prime trial and have it in 2 days free shipping. Stand cost is 14.95, plus you have the prime trial FREE for the Christmas season If you don't like Prime drop it and pay nothing, All the mic's went out but with all the Christmas rush on now who knows when It will be processes so you see it on your computer. I got mine early and had to wait on the Key. If I had the key I would have tried another mic I have here, I don't think it would make that much difference since the Mic;s are suppose to be calibrated flat. But who know s it would be fun to play with until the right mic arrived.

Hey guys just to let you know we are pumping out keys like crazy. I know many of you are excited to play with Dirac so we are working hard and sending large batches each day. I want to thank you for those who have patiently waited and for those who don't have their keys yet, no worries, they are on the way!

Can you confirm if the kits are all shipped or are you still working that list as well. I was supposed to get an email to provide payment info but have not seen the notice and it seems people that got the unit after me have received the kit. I don't want to call just because I am being impatient and slow you guys down.

Is there a time frame that you can give where you can comfortably say - all keys should be issued by 12/30 etc.? Thanks in advance.

I'm scratching my head over here . Well, I guess I can mess with my iMac and get the emulation thing going.

Got my key earlier today as well. I promise to patiently wait for my mic kit.
Have been a pain lately for which I apologize to everyone for. Have just been anxious to get these things and load them up. Will get started with the key later tonight after family goes to bed.
Now, bring on the mic.
Best Regards to all,
Steve

Just received an email from MyUPS that a package from Franklin is scheduled for delivery on the 24th. Woohoo... seems like I will receive my mic kit just in time for the Holidays! That made my day!

No joy in the shipping of the kit yet, but I can at least see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Regards,

Yep, I also received my DIRAC key and a UPS message that the package will be shipped. ETA 12/24/2014. To be honest really don't believe that UPS will be able to deliver the package that fast to an address in the Netherlands. But if... Then it is a very nice Christmas present. Children building their new lego sets (Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer and Lego Friends Heartlake Shopping Center) and daddy playing with DIRAC and listening to some good (surround) music afterwards. And my wife may use her new watch to check how long it takes to install the DIRAC filters

Just got my Dirac kit shipping notice - I received my XMC-1 on 9/29. I also have a delivery date of 12/24, but I am somewhat closer to Franklin, TN than der Nederland - Pittsburgh, PA. To borrow a quote from cousin Eddie, regarding the XMC-1 - "Clark, that's the gift that keeps on giving - the whole year."

Wow... just proof that there is no rhyme or reason to the way the kits are being shipped, I received my xmc on Sept 5 and have received no notice of dirac...
Merry Christmas though all the same...

Good read. While I am really excited about unison, my current research indicates that unison requires precise control of speaker placement and speaker types to function. This is the reason for putting it in cars. I am hopeful that they will overcome this limitation as it sounds really neat. Tony

I read about this a few months ago and mentioned it here with no response. I hope it is something that we can purchase as an upgrade to our existing Dirac. It sounds very promising.

Maybe the RMC will have this on it. This is what should be in the current Dirac:
It should be mentioned that the coming Dirac Unison technology will improve first and foremost the bass interaction of multiple-woofer systems through its unique joint time-domain optimization of all speakers
Ah technology, something better is always just around the corner.

I received my XMC1 before you did (and we live in the same country), and I have not yet received mail nor key. So, it seems that not all mics have been shipped.

Received my e-mail from UPS late last night! Mic to be delivered tomorrow the 24th by end of day. I won't be able to play with it till the weekend due to Christmas, but that's fine.
I'm going to pick up a boom mic stand today locally at Guitar Center. I know I'm going to pay more than I have too, but that's ok too.

It should also be mentioned that it's a lot easier to implement this sort of technology in a controlled environment - like a certain model of car - where it can be optimized to deal with a specific configuration and set of speakers. (You already know what all the speakers can do, and where they will be located, and the characteristics of the "listening room" - so you can "hard code" that information into the system. In contrast, Dirac Live has to learn all that about YOUR particular room and speaker system each time, which adds a lot of complexity to the process. THat's why a "generalized system" like Dirac Live usually takes longer to develop that a solution that can be customized for a specific installation - or car model.) Maybe the RMC will have this on it. This is what should be in the current Dirac: It should be mentioned that the coming Dirac Unison technology will improve first and foremost the bass interaction of multiple-woofer systems through its unique joint time-domain optimization of all speakers Ah technology, something better is always just around the corner.
