Make Any Studio Monitors Sound Better. In the field of audio engineering, using plugins on the master bus of digital audio workstations (DAWs) to correct room acoustics has been common practice.However, this approach has notable drawbacks, such as the need to manually disable the plugin before exporting audio and the inability to use the correction outside of the DAW. IK Multimedia pioneered the industry with ARC (Advanced Room Correction) system, setting a standard in room correction technology. Despite its innovative contribution, traditional console-based music studios and modern digital broadcasting facilities still face challenges in accessing room correction with plugin-only solutions. To overcome these issues, we designed ARC Studio, a game changing compact hardware audio processor that seamlessly integrates with every existing audio setup. The goal has been to encapsulate the quality and precision of the ARC room correction into a simple and transparent sounding audio processor. THE ARC SYSTEM ARC System is made of ARC Studio hardware device, a measurement microphone and a software package. The software package includes: An analysis standalone application used to measure the acoustics of the room A real-time, multi-platform plug-in to be used with any DAW A standalone control application to store the correction into the ARC Studio processor ARC STUDIO Dramatically improve your mixing accuracy with any monitor system in any room Installs in minutes in any studio Sonically invisible, audiophile performance Emulates top monitors & playback systems Customize your monitors’ performance to taste Customise your monitors Customise your setup for ideal performance no matter your preference.ARC Studio offers deep control over each profile so it always sounds its best: Target curves The system comes with 9 factory target curves for most situations. The default curve offers optimally balanced results with other specific curves for different needs or setups. Adjustable correction range By default, ARC corrects the entire frequency spectrum, but you can define upper and lower limits to preserve the unique voicing of your monitors or just address a certain frequency range. Variable resolution and smoothing Adjust the resolution of the correction filter to use more or fewer frequency bands to achieve more surgical correction, or a broader, smoother balance. 2 Phase Modes Natural and Linear phase modes ensure precise stereo imaging.Natural mode improves phase response, while linear phase maintains the original inter-channel phase.
