The ARC Studio dramatically improves your mixing accuracy with any monitors in any room. There’s a reason all today’s highest-end studio monitors are adding active room correction – it supercharges their performance and ensures mixes translate flawlessly.
IK Multimedia ARC Studio - Trust what you hear
Your room can have a big impact on how you hear your music. Room structure, dimensions, walls, and furniture can all change the frequency and timing balance of what you hear. This makes it really difficult to correctly balance your mixes without having audition them on lots of systems and spaces.
ARC Studio corrects these issues, ensuring your work translates properly everywhere. Using a stand-alone processor, this correction can be applied to any studio monitors in any studio without regard for DAW or operating system limitations. You’ll mix faster and with less effort, and your work will translate better than ever.
How it works
Measure your space using the ARC 4 software and included MEMS microphone connected to any audio interface with a phantom-powered microphone input. The ARC software guides you step-by-step through a series of measurements in minutes, and can be repeated for multiple monitors or listening positions.
Installs in minutes
ARC Studio combines the new ARC 4 measurement software, room analysis microphone and stand-alone correction processor.
Plug the mic into your interface and you’ll be guided through measuring acoustical spots within your listening position. IK’s award-winning ARC technology uses this 3D snapshot to identify and completely correct all the problematic issues degrading your monitors’ performance.
This correction profile is loaded into the ARC Studio processor, sitting invisibly between your interface and monitors to apply to all incoming signals. Acoustic issues disappear, unleashing your monitors' true performance.
Correct every studio
For pro studios, whether in-the-box or console-based, ARC Studio allows for a sonically transparent correction and custom-tuning for any monitoring setup from nearfields to mains, preserving the inherent system’s sonic quality.
And for DAW-based studios, ARC Studio frees you from the hassle of inserting plug-ins on the master bus of your work and preserves zero-latency monitoring setups, plus allows you to listen to your preferred streaming service with acoustically corrected monitoring without messing around with system drivers.
You can create a profile for every configuration, listening position or even monitor pair. Whether you’re in a makeshift studio or a world-class one, fine-tuning your monitoring to your taste has never been easier and has never sounded so good.
Includes monitor emulations
ARC Studio also includes a monitor emulations function that turns your monitor system into iconic studio monitors and popular hi-fi speakers and mobile devices, with breathtakingly true-to-life results by accurately reproducing the frequency and phase response of the originals.
With over 20 profiles included, a single pair of monitors now lets you test your mix on different reference systems quickly, without ever having to head to your car!
