IK Multimedia ARC Studio Room Correction System - Secondhand

Full Description

Instant studio monitor upgrade

The ARC Studio Room Correction System brings top-tier room correction technology to any studio setup. By analysing and correcting room acoustics, it ensures your monitors deliver precise, balanced audio. Experience tighter low-end, clearer transients, and pinpoint stereo imaging, significantly enhancing your mixing accuracy and confidence. Your room’s size, shape, materials, and furniture all impact your sound. The ARC 4 software uses an advanced algorithm to address these issues, transforming your listening environment in minutes.

Easy setup in minutes

Setting up the ARC Studio is a breeze. Simply plug the included microphone into your interface, follow the guided measurement process, and let the ARC 4 software do the rest. It creates a 3D snapshot of your room and corrects problematic acoustics, improving your monitoring environment without any hassle. This quick and straightforward installation means you spend less time on technical adjustments and more time on creating music. The intuitive process ensures anyone, regardless of technical expertise, can benefit from professional-grade room correction.

High-end audio quality

The ARC Studio features premium AD and DA conversion using AKM Velvet Sound converters, providing a dynamic range of 120 dB(A) and a frequency response from 0.5 Hz to 40 kHz. This ensures sonic transparency and accuracy, making it suitable for mastering-grade audio conversion and offering an audiophile listening experience. The standalone processor corrects studio monitors in any setup, including hardware- and console-based studios, maintaining the integrity of your original sound while eliminating room-induced distortions.

Customisable monitoring profiles

Tailor your monitoring setup to your preferences with ARC 4’s flexible controls. Use pre-set target curves or create custom ones, adjust correction ranges, and choose between natural and linear phase modes. The monitor emulation feature lets you simulate different reference systems, allowing you to perfect your mix without additional equipment. With over 20 profiles included, you can transform your monitoring system to emulate iconic studio monitors, popular hi-fi speakers, and even mobile devices, ensuring your mix sounds great on any platform.

Advanced room correction

ARC 4’s algorithm provides deep control over each profile, ensuring optimal performance. The adjustable correction range allows you to define limits to both upper and lower frequency ranges, preserving the unique voicing of your monitors or focusing on specific frequency corrections. Variable resolution and smoothing enable you to achieve either surgical precision or a broader, smoother balance, depending on your room’s characteristics.
