Product Description
With ARC you can electronically correct for your room’s acoustics in 2 easy steps. First you measure your room response in specified placed using the included calibrated measurement microphone and software. ARC 2 allows you to take from 7 to 16 different measurements, depending upon the room size and your desired level of correction.
These measurements give the ARC 2 plug-in software the information it needs to accurately apply the correction. Once measurements are taken, ARC 2 automatically calculates a correction algorithm that you can apply to your music with the included plug-in, placing it on your DAW master BUS. Using ARC 2 you can mix with greater confidence, knowing that your music will translate better to the outside world.
ARC 2 includes a calibrated, omnidirectional measurement microphone that provides a transparent, colorless, highly-linear characteristic.
