IK Multimedia ARC Studio Room Correction Processor System with Microphone
Get more accurate, reliable monitoring in virtually any studio with ARC Studio, an all-in-one room correction system from IK Multimedia. By measuring the acoustic characteristics of your room and applying targeted correction, ARC Studio helps compensate for problematic frequency response and improve stereo imaging, allowing you to make mixing decisions with greater confidence.
The system combines the ARC 4 room analysis and correction software, a dedicated ARC Studio processor, and a MEMS measurement microphone. Simply measure your listening environment, let ARC 4 analyze the results, then transfer the correction profile to the hardware for transparent, latency-free correction.

Fast, Simple Setup
ARC 4 guides you through a series of measurements around your listening position using the included MEMS microphone. The measurement process takes less than 10 minutes, after which ARC 4 generates a correction profile specifically tailored to your room and monitoring system.
Transfer the correction to the ARC Studio processor and enjoy consistent, accurate monitoring without requiring a correction plug-in on your DAW's master bus.
X-MONITOR Reference System Emulation
ARC Studio also includes X-MONITOR, allowing you to emulate the frequency and phase response of different monitoring systems. With more than 20 included reference profiles, you can quickly check how your mix translates across studio monitors, hi-fi speakers, and other playback systems without leaving your studio.
For Professional and Home Studios
ARC Studio is designed for both professional control rooms and home studios. Because correction is handled by the dedicated hardware processor, it can be placed directly between your source and monitors and used with virtually any DAW, operating system, console, or monitoring setup.
Whether you're mixing, mastering, producing, or simply looking for a more reliable monitoring environment, ARC Studio helps you hear your speakers and room more accurately so you can make better decisions.
