IK Multimedia Arc Studio Advanced Room Correction System

Description

In the field of audio engineering, using plugins on the master bus of digital audio workstations (DAWs) to correct room acoustics has been common practice.
However, this approach has notable drawbacks, such as the need to manually disable the plugin before exporting audio and the inability to use the correction outside of the DAW. IK Multimedia pioneered the industry with ARC (Advanced Room Correction) system, setting a standard in room correction technology. Despite its innovative contribution, traditional console-based music studios and modern digital broadcasting facilities still face challenges in accessing room correction with plugin-only solutions. To overcome these issues, we designed ARC Studio, a game changing compact hardware audio processor that seamlessly integrates with every existing audio setup. The goal has been to encapsulate the quality and precision of the ARC room correction into a simple and transparent sounding audio processor.

ARC System is made of ARC Studio hardware device, a measurement microphone and a software package.

The software package includes:

• An analysis standalone application used to measure the acoustics of the room
• A real-time, multi-platform plug-in to be used with any DAWA standalone control application to store the correction into the ARC Studio processor
