There’s a reason why today’s studio monitors come equipped with active room correction – it enhances their performance and ensures flawless mixing. ARC Studio provides the same precision boost for any monitor in any studio.

ARC Studio analyzes and corrects these issues in just a few minutes. Your music immediately takes center stage, with more controlled bass, tighter transients, and more precise stereo imaging.
ARC Studio combines the ARC 4 measurement software with a room analysis microphone and a standalone correction processor. Connect the microphone to your interface, and you will be guided through measuring acoustic points at your listening position. Acoustic problems disappear, and your monitors unleash their true potential.
ARC Studio allows you to create a custom profile for every configuration, every listening position, and even for each pair of monitors. Whether you’re in a makeshift or a top-tier studio, fine-tuning your monitoring has never been easier.
