It doesn't correct the room reflections but it endeavors to load the room in anticipation of the effect of the reflections you are dealing with.
 

How do you know it doesn't correct the room reflections?

 
The premise of my statement is that the room reflections, the resonance, and impedance of the air within it is not physically changed, but rather it is anticipated and the signal injected into the room is altered in some way which interacts with the existing physicality in such a way that a net effect is achieved.
 
This is, to date, my best understanding of what is going on... I'm eager to learn more.
 
 
 
 
In the mean time, I'm saving up for a full set of Ninjapanels™ to mount on the walls and to use as gobos. They have induction motivated pivoting platelets that respond at 96kHz sampling to achieve >96% diffusion in any room larger than a shower stall, and recent developments inspire reason to feel encouraged that a shower stall gambit will soon be realized.

These?

I tried to look them up, sound's interesting...
 
Seriously Mike, a link for Ninja Panels? Can't find them, inquiring minds and all...

About 35 years ago we lived in an old log cabin. There wasn't a square corner in it and forget walking through the room without the turntable skipping. I wish I had a picture but I made a turntable stand that hung from the ceiling, I made four little bent metal pieces with two holes to adjust the strings... it worked great. Simpler times. I built semi hanging stands for some Sansui speakers in the corners of the garage at out last house, they worked well too. Man, I used to be a lot more active and useful...
Now I am sitting here with my grand daughter watching The LEGO Movie for the 4th time in two days... actually, this is pretty important stuff!

Some time back, I was kind of taken to task for suggesting that I could use the ARC mic to record my acoustic guitar since it's freq response was flat and not warm like some other mics. Kind of a shoe on the other foot thing.
 

So... did you go ahead and try it?

It is on sale at Audiodeluxe http://audiodeluxe.com/ for 149.00 with free shipping, sale code was added by them when I put it in my cart. Code is SUMMER14. I noticed that they are the seller on Amazon and thought I'd check their page and yep! it's there and cheaper. http://audiodeluxe.com/products/ik-multimedia-arc-system-2 you 100.00 off when you put it in the cart. That is half the price it is at Sweetwater and other places.

Opinion: If you are not going to put your speakers in a place where they sound good you should rush out and buy something to make they seem better.

But if people do this, isn't it now a fact?

5 stars and 48 reviews at Sweetwater!!!

Back when I was an idiot, I did something similar to my hi-fi speakers so the kids would not poke at the cones.
 
BTW, I'm still an idiot but not about speaker placement. 
(because I have ARC 2)

I have a hard time imagining the bapu as anything but a wise man.
 
I'll bet those macrame things could easily get 48 "it decoupled the bass from my table" 5 star reviews too if Sweetwater sold them. 
 
Someone should try making them out of mil spec nylon. Maybe call them SpaceSager™ or something.

... based on the fact that IKM don't go out of their way to dispel that presumption. In fact, they're annoyingly vague about what ARC really does, preferring that you just chalk it up to magic.

 
I believe in magic... I believe in magic....... I believe in magic.......
