Even with proper acoustic treatment, it's difficult to optimally tune a room that wasn't purpose-built to be a studio. That's why so many engineers have turned to IK Multimedia's ARC. This revolutionary room correction system leverages an ultra-accurate measurement microphone, analysis software, and a correction plug-in to ensure that everything that comes out of your speakers is something you can trust. For ARC 4, IK developed a faster, easier calibration process, in addition to a more natural-sounding correction algorithm for even better results than before. Expanded virtual monitoring equips you with more than 20 iconic studio monitor profiles. You also get an updated interface with dark and light modes, along with the ability to manage and switch profiles within the ARC Studio software. Want mixes that translate? With ARC 4 in your bag of tricks, your music will sound great everywhere.
All-new, natural-sounding correction algorithm
ARC software has always sounded great, but ARC 4 takes it to a whole new level. Its new correction algorithm offers an improved, more natural-sounding result that's guaranteed to make a difference in your mixes. The secret behind this algorithm is IK's amazing VRM (Volumetric Response Modeling). This technology creates a three-dimensional snapshot of your room, identifies problem frequencies, and then fixes them without overprocessing your sound. Whether you use ARC 4's ultra-accurate 21-point measurement process or the new, faster 7-point one, you'll benefit from the sound of a properly tuned room with zero unwanted sonic artifacts.
Room correction made easy
To deploy IK Multimedia's ARC 4, you set up the included IK Multimedia MEMS measurement microphone, activate the room correction process, and generate a room correction profile. Once you've got the profile, you instantiate the ARC 4 plug-in on your mix's master bus. ARC 4's advanced processing will then leverage the data in your correction profile to compensate for your room's acoustic deficiencies. We've found that ARC 4 enables us to hear exactly what was recorded, which helps us make more informed mixing decisions, no matter what type of environment we're mixing in.
