The Total Harmonic Discussion / the THD Podcast. A weekly discussion on audio and headphone technologies and the people who bring the technology to market.

In episode 131 of the THD Podcast Mark Lippett, CEO of XMOS, joins to tell us about their fabless semiconductor company that specializes in high-performance multicore microcontrollers designed to bridge the gap between traditional hardware (like FPGAs) and software-defined solutions. Their unique xCORE architecture allows developers to implement complex functions—such as digital signal processing (DSP), artificial intelligence (AI), and custom I/O—entirely in software with deterministic, real-time performance. The parts can be architected using a natural language GUI, so any device that requires real-time processing (AKA Audio) but doesnt have a volume to support custom ICs or have the budget for extensive FW development can benefit from such a device.

In episode 130 of the THD Podcast, Dr. Ramses Alcaide joins to explain Neurable. Neurable develops non-invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) designed to integrate into daily life through products like the Master & Dynamic MW75 Neuro headphones. The company utilizes proprietary AI and EEG sensors to analyze cognitive health, tracking metrics such as focus and stress levels to help users manage burnout. With a long-term goal of enabling device control through thought, Neurable is moving beyond traditional, medical-grade, and, in some cases, military-focused, neurotechnology.

In episode 129 of the THD Podcast, Nilo Casimiro Ericsson, product manager for home and pro plus, is one of the founders of the firm, so we went to the horse's mouth to get the details on the DIRAC ART product. Dirac Live Active Room Treatment or ART) is an advanced software-based room correction technology that uses a home theater's existing speaker system to manage bass and eliminate room resonance, eliminating the need for physical, passive acoustic panels. It acts like "noise-canceling headphones" for the entire room, utilizing MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology to create a cleaner, tighter, and more balanced soundstage.

You basically use a measurement microphone and software on a computer to calibrate your room. The calibration process for Dirac Live ART involves using a measurement microphone and software on a computer to create a digital model of your room. While standard room correction systems treat each speaker individually, Dirac ART uses these measurements to treat your entire speaker system as a unified network. It's a very cool piece of kit to deal with the infinite living spaces and conditions that we subject our audio experiences.
