Dirac and CRI Middleware Join Forces to Deliver Enhanced Sound Experiences to the Mobile/PC, Gaming, IoT, and Automotive Industries

Together with Tokyo-based solution provider CRI Middleware we have entered into a distribution agreement to explore new applications of Dirac’s audio optimization technology. Together we will build on CRI Middleware’s expertise working with developers in the gaming, automotive, mobile/PC, and IoT industries to identify products that would benefit from the enhanced sound experiences enabled by Dirac solutions.

“Everywhere we look, there are products and platforms that can be enhanced through a higher degree of audio performance – be it gaming, Internet of Things, or even advanced driver-assistance systems,” stated Peter Friedrichsen, CEO, Dirac. “Through this collaboration with CRI Middleware and its customer base in Japan, we’ll be able to deliver the audio technologies developers require to level-up their product performance and deliver meaningful upgrades to the overall customer experience.”

The two companies began collaborating several years ago when CRI Middleware played an instrumental role in integrating Dirac software into personal computers manufactured by Fujitsu Client Computing Limited. Earlier this month, Dirac announced its audio technology has also been included in new Fujitsu LIFEBOOK laptops.

Dirac will make available its room correction, speaker optimization, and immersive audio technologies to CRI’s middleware platform under this new agreement. The Dirac solutions will then be accessible by CRI’s customer base of developers for easy integration into their end-user products and platforms.
