STORMAUDIO ANNOUNCES THAT ITS DIGITAL AUDIO SUITE WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO BRYSTON SP4 AND FOCAL ASTRAL 16 USERS

Nantes, France, July 1, 2024 — We are excited to announce that, effective today, users of the Bryston SP4 and the Focal Astral 16 can now enjoy the suite of advanced features offered by StormAudio. This significant enhancement is made possible through the purchase of a license, available today, that brings an unprecedented level of performance and customization to their audio experiences.

The revolutionary calibration tool: Dirac Live Active Room Treatment

With this license, Bryston SP4 and Focal Astral 16 users gain access to Dirac’s revolutionary calibration tool, Dirac Live Active Room Treatment. The Dirac Live Active Room Treatment license is included in the upgrade.

This state-of-the-art tool calibrates speakers as a unified system and uses each speaker’s strengths to reduce room decay time, efficiently canceling out lingering bass and leading to unmatched clarity.

A full set of new features and enhancements

In addition to Dirac Live Active Room Treatment, users will also benefit from a host of other advanced features, including:

• Expert Bass Management: Precise control over low-frequency output for superior sound quality.
• Multiple Layout Management: Up to six different speaker configurations possible, accessible through Preset selection.
• StormEasy Setup Wizard: A user-friendly setup process that simplifies configuration and calibration.
• StormXT: Enhanced immersive audio experience with optimized channel expansion.
• New Filters for Parametric Equalization (PEQ): Improved flexibility and control over sound adjustments.

These features, previously exclusive to StormAudio customers, are now available to enrich the listening experiences of Bryston SP4 and Focal Astral 16 users.

“We are thrilled to extend StormAudio’s innovative technologies to Bryston SP4 and Focal Astral 16 users,” said Olivier Thumerel, CEO of StormAudio. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to pushing the boundaries of audio excellence and ensuring that our users have access to the best tools available in the industry.”
