IK Multimedia ARC System 3 with MEMS Microphone

General

Mix with complete confidence with the IK Multimedia ARC System 3 acoustic correction system. While you work, this system quietly analyses the room using the included measurement microphone and software. Based on these measurements, you're provided with an accurate result on which to base crucial mixing decisions. It's not just a more accurate way of working, it also dramatically speeds up the process since you're freed up to focus on nothing but the music with the assurance that you have a solid base to work from. The readings are also easily translated into other systems and, using the potent real-time spectrum analyser, you can compare the results, before and after applying the readings.

Improvements

Looking back at the previous system, ARC 2.5, a number of welcome improvements have been made, including the addition of 3D room analysis, incredibly natural and accurate audio, and a simplified, step-by-step room analysis, so that setting up and running the analysis all happens much faster. The option to use measurement microphones other than the included MEMS model has also been added. While in principle, the system applies the corrections across the entire frequency spectrum, you can also specify a separate limit on, for example, the high and low frequencies. In this way, any corrections can be fine tuned to taste. Another incredibly practical feature is the smartphone, TV, and auto-stereo system simulation that gives you a direct indication of what the mix will sound like out in the real world.
