Product details

Hardware/Software System for Room Acoustics Correction

The IK Multimedia ARC Studio is a comprehensive hardware and software solution designed to correct room acoustics for any type of studio monitors, suitable for both digital and analogue audio applications. It includes a dedicated hardware DSP processor, a MEMS measurement microphone, and the ARC 4 software suite.

Adaptive Room Acoustics Correction

This system analyzes the acoustic characteristics of your listening environment, creates a detailed 3D acoustic model, and applies precise correction to improve the accuracy of your monitor playback. It functions both as a digital plug-in within a DAW or as a standalone hardware processor, making it compatible with digital studios, analogue studios with consoles and tape decks, and even Hi-Fi listening rooms.

Key Features

  • Solves acoustic issues in your listening space
  • Compatible with digital and analogue studio setups
  • Hardware/software integrated system
  • Operates as both plug-in and hardware processor
  • Accurate room acoustic measurement with included microphone
  • Listening correction tailored to your environment
  • Includes emulations of iconic studio monitor models
  • Customizable listening experience
  • Easy setup and commissioning
  • Includes DSP unit and MEMS measurement microphone

Designed for Professional and Hi-Fi Environments

Traditional studios and monitoring rooms often face challenges with room acoustics. Unlike plug-in-only solutions, ARC Studio offers a compact hardware processor that integrates seamlessly into any audio setup, providing transparent and precise spatial correction.

Capabilities

  • Significantly improves mixing accuracy with any monitor system in any room
  • Quick setup in minutes for any studio environment
  • Emulates over 20 iconic monitors and playback systems
  • Customizable monitor renditions to suit specific needs

System Components

  • Hardware DSP module with processor
  • MEMS measurement microphone
  • Software package including ARC 4 measurement application, multiplatform DAW plug-in, and standalone control application

Usage in Any Audio Setup

ARC Studio is versatile and can be used in purely digital DAW-based studios, analogue studios with mixing consoles and tape decks, as well as Hi-Fi listening and presentation rooms requiring precise audio monitoring.

Setup Process

  • Connect the measurement microphone to your audio interface
  • Follow guided measurements of multiple acoustic points in your listening space
  • ARC 4 software creates a 3D acoustic profile identifying problematic areas
  • Load the correction profile into the ARC Studio hardware processor or DAW plug-in depending on your setup

Hardware Design and Connectivity

The ARC Studio processor features a minimalist front panel with three LEDs indicating power, signal/clip status, and correction activity. The rear panel includes:

  • 2x balanced XLR female inputs for stereo analog input
  • 2x balanced XLR male outputs for stereo analog output
  • USB-C port for computer connection and software control
  • DC power input for external power supply

Audio Performance

The unit offers a dynamic range of 120 dB(A) from analog input to output, a frequency response from 0.5 Hz to 40 kHz, and ultra-stable clocking with very low jitter, ensuring sonic transparency and precision comparable to high-end audio converters. True bypass relays ensure no signal loss or distortion when correction is disabled.

Profile Customization

  • Target Curves: Nine factory preset curves for various monitoring scenarios, including a default balanced curve
  • Adjustable Correction Range: Define frequency limits to preserve unique monitor characteristics or focus correction on specific bands
  • Variable Resolution and Smoothing: Adjust filter precision for detailed or smooth correction
  • Phase Modes: Natural mode improves phase response; Linear mode preserves original phase differences for accurate stereo imaging

ARC 4 Software Highlights

  • Advanced measurement algorithm for accurate room modeling
  • Guided measurement process suitable for users without acoustic engineering experience
  • Two measurement modes: Advanced (21 points, 3 layers) and Quick (7 points)
  • Creates a 3D acoustic model applied via plug-in or saved to hardware
  • New standalone ARC Studio management application
  • Expanded virtual monitoring with over 20 iconic monitor profiles
  • Updated user interface with dark and light modes

Technical Specifications

  • Analog Inputs: 2x XLR female, line level
  • Analog Outputs: 2x XLR male, line level
  • Computer Connection: USB-C
  • Power Supply: External power adapter included
