ARC 4 is a powerful room correction system that dramatically enhances the accuracy of your monitoring setup, combining a precision measurement microphone, analysis software, and a correction plug-in. Whether you're mixing in a professional studio or an untreated space, ARC 4 helps eliminate the coloration caused by room acoustics, letting you hear your music as it truly sounds. It features a new, more natural-sounding correction algorithm powered by Volumetric Response Modeling (VRM), which captures a 3D profile of your space. With options for either a quick 7-point or detailed 21-point measurement process, ARC 4 delivers precise calibration in any environment. You can use the included MEMS mic or any compatible RTA mic, and correction profiles can be applied directly within your DAW or managed through ARC Studio hardware for standalone operation.
Designed to streamline your workflow, ARC 4 includes virtual monitoring that emulates over 20 iconic studio monitors and playback systems, allowing you to test your mix across various listening environments without leaving your sweet spot. The system also provides deep customization, including adjustable correction ranges, target curves, and resolution control, plus two phase modes for optimized imaging. With intuitive metering tools-Peak, RMS, LUFS, dynamic range, and a real-time spectrum analyzer-ARC 4 offers a clear view of how your room affects your sound before and after correction. Its redesigned interface, flexible setup, and unmatched clarity make it an essential upgrade for producers and engineers seeking professional, translatable mixes in any space.
