Four times greater resolution for faster and better correction



IK in collaboration with Audyssey® are please to announced the new update for ARC - Advanced Room Correction System. ARC is the first acoustic correction system that combines a measurement microphone, measurement software AND a correction plug-in for most popular DAWs to improve the acoustics and sonic reliability of your studio.

How does ARC improve your listening environment?

ARC works by measuring your room using the included measurement microphone and measurement software and then generates an algorithm to provide a correction of your room’s acoustic problems that you can apply to your mix using the included plug-in. You can record and mix with confidence knowing that what you hear from your speakers is a faithful representation of how your music will translate to the outside world.

What's new

• Completely redesigned interface for improved usability
• 4X greater resolution improves critical low-end response
• Smoother, more natural sound in the mid-range and high frequencies
• New combined L/R correction option maintains focus in perfectly symmetrical control rooms
• New customizable target curves now can match engineers’ personal timbre tastes
• New “Alt References” templates mimic the sound of consumer listening devices like car systems, speaker boxes, etc. allowing the engineer to test how mixes translate on different systems
• New Monitor Control panel interface streamlines workflow
• Fewer measurements now provide higher quality results and shortens set-up time
• Measurements can be saved and used for multiple correction set-ups

Where's IK OBI when you need him?

I wonder if the upgrade includes another mic? I didn't see anything about it on the IK site.

I just bought ARC last month and really like it but not really saving much at the $99 upgrade price. It works out about the same as a new user buying the package at $299

I'm sure the upgrade is for the software only since you can still use the previous mic that you purchased originally.

Anyone know if there's an auto bypass feature in this version?
That's really the only issue that I've had using it.

I think we saw this one coming from a long way off.

I can't afford the old or the new. That's my only problem with it.

Not sure what you mean by auto bypass?
Can't you just turn it off in the fx bin to bypass?

Yes, you can turn it off manually.
It's been discussed for a long time now that users would like to have this feature included in the new version.

cant use your jam points with the upgrade

cant use your jam points with the upgrade

Edit: today they changed JamPoints usage, see below..

The video says it's backward compatible with ARC 1 measurement files.
Does this mean I can just update the software or do I need to (or should) take the measurements over again?

Anyone know?
