\n\n \nA room can have a big impact on how you hear your music. Walls, furniture, and other objects reflect and absorb sound, creating complex artifacts that change the frequency balance and stereo imaging, and can cause your carefully balanced mix to fall apart in other spaces. \n \nWith ARC, you can detect and account for these issues without expensive room treatment. ARC precisely measures the sound of your room in moments, then generates a correction profile you can load into the ARC plug-in for your DAW or the new ARC Studio hardware, which operates independently from your computer, to ensure what youÂre hearing is how your music really sounds. \n

\nAn all-new listening experience
\nARC 4 uses a brand-new and more natural analysis and correction algorithm that delivers results you canÂt find in other digital room correction systems. By measuring your room across a 3D space around the listening position, IKÂs award-winning VRM™ (Volumetric Response Modeling) technology creates a 3D snapshot of your room, identifying problematic issues without over-processing the sound. \n \nYou have the choice of going through a 21-point ultra-accurate measurement process or a 7-point quicker one. Both will sound great. The longer measurement is more adequate for fixed installations and permanent setups, while the shorter measurement is ideal for on-the-go or ad-hoc setups, making it possible to measure the room in less than a minute. \n \nThe result is an incredibly natural-sounding correction like youÂve never heard. ARC 4 recreates the feeling of working in a properly-tuned room, without sounding Âcorrected. \nMeasure quickly and precisely
\nJust connect a measurement mic to your interface and launch the step-by-step room analysis software. YouÂll be guided through a series of measurements across your listening position, and with ARCÂs flexible placement options you can create measurements of multiple monitors and listening positions, so you can virtually adjust the sweet spot for clients or different setups. \n \n \n
Deep control to fine-tune your correction
\nCustomise your setup for ideal performance no matter your preference. ARC 4 offers deep control over each profile so it always sounds its best: \nTarget curves
\nARC 4 comes with 9 factory tailored target curves suitable for most situations. The default curve offers optimally balanced results with Flat and other specific curves for different needs or setups. \n
Adjustable correction range
\nBy default, ARC corrects the entire frequency spectrum, but you can define limits to both upper and lower correction ranges separately. This is useful if you want to preserve the unique voicing of your monitors or are just looking to correct a certain frequency range. \n \n \n
Variable resolution and smoothing
\nAdjust the resolution of the correction filter to use more or fewer frequency bands. Depending on your roomÂs unique sound, this lets you achieve more surgical correction, or a broader, smoother balance. \n \n \n \n\n

\n2 Phase Modes
\nNatural and Linear phase modes ensure precise stereo imaging. Natural mode improves the phase response, while linear phase maintains the original inter-channel phase response, which may be preferable in certain rooms and conditions. \n \n \n
Includes monitor emulations
\nWith over 20 profiles included in ARC 4, a single pair of monitors now lets you test your mix on different reference systems quickly, without ever having to head to your car or buy additional pairs of monitors! \n \n \n

\nYou can also use virtual monitoring to intentionally shape your sound to emulate devices like TVs and car audio systems, as well as many popular studio monitors, to quickly listen to your mix on other "virtual" systems to ensure a perfect sound translation.
