Their frequency response is never perfectly flat, and their exaggerated stereo image alters your perception of balance, timbre, and space. The result? Endless revisions, ear fatigue, and mixes that don’t translate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARC ON•EAR is a revolutionary standalone headphone DAC and amplifier that instantly corrects your headphone’s response and recreates the experience of mixing on professional studio monitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the first time, you can mix, master, and produce with total confidence — anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemoves the guesswork of mixing on headphones\u003cbr\u003eRecreates the experience of real monitors in a studio\u003cbr\u003eVirtually audition mixes on other top playback systems\u003cbr\u003eStandalone audiophile DAC and headphone amplifier\u003cbr\u003eControl software to customise and load up to 5 profiles\u003cbr\u003eSupport for hundreds of popular headphone models\u003cbr\u003eRechargeable battery for mobile mixing and listening\u003cbr\u003eUSB-C and analog audio inputs support all audio sources\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMix anywhere with in-ears (V1.5 update)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARC ON•EAR supports in-ear monitors (IEMs), including Apple EarPods, unlocking a new level of portability for serious mixing. Whether you’re a touring performer or a mix engineer on the move, you can now rely on the same in-ears you already use on stage or on the road, no need to carry a separate pair of studio headphones. ARC ON•EAR applies precise calibration and spatial processing to IEMs, turning them into a consistent and dependable monitoring reference across any environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat’s more, IEMs open the door to an even higher level of precision. Because in-ears bypass the outer ear, ARC ON•EAR can apply more focused, model-specific correction with reduced acoustic variability without the complex reflections typical of traditional headphones. The result is amore controlled and detailed listening experience with exceptional tonal accuracy and spatial clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo guesswork, no compromise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMixing on headphones has always meant compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven “reference” headphones colour your sound, while exaggerated stereo width makes spatial judgment nearly impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARC ON•EAR solves both problems — restoring a neutral frequency response and a natural stereo image — so you can trust what you hear every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Reliable Reference\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery pair of headphones has its own sonic fingerprint. ARC ON·EAR uses precision calibration profiles, measured with state-of-the-art reference rigs, to ensure accurate, transparent, and reliable sound. With support for hundreds of popular headphone models, users will experience the mix exactly as it should sound – clear, balanced, and true to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReal Studio Monitors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike plug-ins or impulse-based “virtual rooms,” ARC ON·EAR utilises advanced physical modelling to recreate the behaviour of real studio monitors in an ideal acoustic space. There are no artificial reverbs or timbral colouration, just the natural depth, width, and clarity of a real control room – right in the user’s headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt For Practical Everyday Use\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact, durable aluminium chassis\u003cbr\u003eElegant design, suitable for any environment\u003cbr\u003eAnalog input (3.5 mm) \u0026amp; digital USB-C inputs\u003cbr\u003eStandard 6.3 mm headphone out\u003cbr\u003eIncludes protective carrying case\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccuracy Begins with the Amplifier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe behaviour of a headphone amplifier directly influences what is heard. Even high-end audio interfaces and mixers can modify a headphone’s frequency response – sometimes subtly, sometimes significantly – depending on the model and its output impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARC ON·EAR eliminates this variable. All calibration profiles are created using the exact same amplifier circuit found in the product, ensuring precise, reliable, and repeatable correction across all headphones and listening sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUncompromising Audio Quality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowered by a 32-bit ESS SABRE® converter, a high-damping-factor, ultra-low-distortion power amplifier, and a digitally controlled analog volume stage, ARC ON·EAR delivers a truly audiophile-grade listening experience – with no compromises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVirtual Monitoring that Goes Beyond\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstantly test your mix on a wide range of playback systems — without taking off your headphones:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudio monitors\u003cbr\u003eSmartphones\u003cbr\u003eSmart Speakers\u003cbr\u003eTV sets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a growing library of virtual monitors, you’ll know exactly how your mix translates in the real world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEffortless Control\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe included and dedicated ARC ON·EAR control software lets users easily set up and fine-tune their listening experience.
