Measurement microphone, analysis software and a correction plug-in

IK Multimedia's ARC System 4 combines a highly accurate measurement microphone, analysis software and a correction plug-in to improve the accuracy of your monitoring in any room. Work faster and more freely, with the confidence that you'll hear your music in its purest form and that it will sound great anywhere. With a faster, simpler calibration process, an impressive new, more natural algorithm and the ability to manage profiles on ARC Studio hardware, ARC 4 is all about letting you focus on your music - and that translates effortlessly to any system.

Finally trust your room acoustics

A room can have a significant impact on how you perceive your music. Walls, furniture and other objects reflect and absorb sound, creating complex artifacts that can alter frequency balance and stereo imaging, causing your carefully balanced Mix to fall apart in other rooms.

ARC accurately measures the sound of your room in moments, then generates a correction profile that you can load into the ARC plug-in for your DAW to ensure that what you hear is what your music really sounds like. You'll mix faster and with less effort, and your work will transfer better than ever before.

A completely new listening experience

ARC 4 uses a brand new and more natural analysis and correction algorithm that delivers results not found in other digital room correction systems. By measuring your room in a 3D space around the listening position, IK's award-winning VRM™ technology creates a 3D snapshot of your room and identifies problematic issues without over-processing the sound.

You can choose between a 21-point ultra-accurate measurement process or a faster 7-point process. Both will sound great. The longer measurement is better suited for fixed installations and permanent setups, while the shorter measurement is ideal for on-the-go or spontaneous setups and allows you to measure the room in less than a minute.

Immediate application of the correction

Once you have generated your profiles, open your DAW and insert ARC 4 via the master bus. ARC applies a precise correction filter with advanced processing to compensate for the acoustics of your room with greater accuracy than ever before.

Now you can listen to your music without the effects of room acoustics. You can work with confidence that you're hearing exactly what was recorded, and your work will transfer to other rooms and systems better than ever before.

Deep control over key parameters

Every room and setup is different, and ARC 4 gives you the controls to fine-tune your correction for optimal performance everywhere:

  • Adjustable correction range
  • Variable resolution and smoothing
  • Natural or linear phase modes

Check your Mix directly from your desk

ARC System 4 emulates the frequency and phase response of the most popular studio monitors on the market which, combined with the ARC settings, provide the best possible sound in any listening environment. This is ideal for quickly testing a Mix on different reference systems without ever leaving the sweet spot and calibration of ARC.

You can also use virtual monitoring to shape your sound and emulate devices such as TVs and car stereos, as well as many popular studio monitors, and quickly listen to your Mix on other 'virtual' systems to ensure perfect sound translation.

Powerful metering at a glance

ARC provides useful tools to speed up your workflow, including peak, RMS, loudness and dynamic range metering. A real-time spectrum analyzer shows how your music interacted with your room before correction and shows how the room affected the sound.
