ARC Studio from IK Multimedia is the first ready-to-use room acoustic correction system accessible to everyone. It combines an autonomous correction processor, ARC 4 measurement software, and a room analysis microphone.

High-end studio monitors incorporate active spatial correction to improve their performance and guarantee perfect reproduction of mixes. ARC Studio delivers this same dramatic improvement to any monitor, in any studio.

For the first time in the recording industry, an affordable hardware processor can be used as a correction and calibration system for any type of studio, whether home, project or professional, without the limitations of a software-only system.

The size, shape, materials and furniture of your room affect the way you hear your music, distorting frequencies and stereo balance of your monitors.

ARC 4's new algorithm analyzes and corrects these issues in minutes, making your music sound clearer with better-controlled bass, sharper transients, and a more defined stereo image.

This amounts to an instant upgrade to your monitors, enabling faster, more confident mixes.

Plug the mic into your interface to measure the acoustic points at your listening position. IK's ARC technology uses this 3D snapshot to identify and correct any acoustic issues.

The correction profile is stored and applied by the ARC Studio processor, invisible between your interface and your monitors.

ARC Studio offers a dynamic range of 120 dB(A), a frequency response of 0.5 Hz to 40 kHz, and an ultra-stable clock for complete sonic transparency.

It connects via balanced XLRs with relay bypass to avoid sudden power-related pops. With ARC Studio, enjoy natural, transparent listening in any studio.
