IK Multimedia ARC 2

IK Multimedia and Audyssey announced Version 2 of ARC - Advanced Room Correction System - for Mac/PC DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations).

ARC is an acoustic correction system that combines a measurement microphone, measurement software and a correction plug-in for DAWs.

ARC works by measuring your room using the included measurement microphone and 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.

Audyssey’s MultEQ XT32 is included in this new version of ARC.

MultEQ XT32 gives the new ARC 2 an higher-resolution EQ adjustment – especially in the extreme low frequencies – a combined L/R correction for control room optimization and customizable target curves. These new features are packaged in a new interface featuring a new Monitor Control panel interface.
