IK Multimedia ARC 4 Software w/ Microphone & Standalone Correction Processor

Studio monitors finally get the room correction breakthrough they deserve with ARC Studio, the first affordable out-of-the-box acoustic correction system that works with any monitors in any studio environment. This comprehensive solution combines a standalone hardware processor, advanced ARC 4 measurement software, and a precision room analysis microphone to tackle the acoustic challenges that plague every mixing space. Your room’s size, shape, materials and furniture all conspire to distort frequency response and stereo balance, but ARC 4’s sophisticated algorithm analyses and corrects these issues in minutes, bringing your music into sharp focus with controlled low-end, tighter transients and pinpoint stereo imaging.

The system guides you through measuring key acoustical points within your listening position using the included microphone connected to your interface. IK’s award-winning ARC technology creates a 3D snapshot of your room’s acoustic signature, identifying and correcting all problematic issues that degrade your monitors’ performance. The correction profile loads into the ARC Studio processor, which sits transparently between your interface and monitors, applying real-time correction to all incoming signals with mastering-grade audio quality featuring 120 dB(A) dynamic range and ultra-stable clocking.

Built around premium AKM Velvet Sound™ converters selected through extensive research and listening tests, ARC Studio connects via balanced XLRs with power-safe relay-based hard bypass protection. The Italian-engineered hardware offers professional studios sonically transparent correction for any monitoring setup from nearfields to mains, while DAW-based studios benefit from zero-latency monitoring without master bus plug-ins. ARC 4 software includes 9 factory target curves, customisable frequency correction ranges, and over 20 monitor emulation profiles that accurately reproduce iconic studio monitors, hi-fi speakers and mobile devices, letting you reference your mix across multiple systems using just one pair of monitors.
