ARC Studio+

Standalone Room Calibration
Connect the included measurement microphone and perform calibration directly from the hardware without a computer, DAW or audio interface.

Automatic Subwoofer Integration
Automatically detects a connected subwoofer and aligns its gain, crossover, phase and delay with your main monitors.

Hardware-Based Correction
Applies correction outside your DAW for consistent monitoring across sessions and playback sources, without a correction plug-in in your project.

Flexible Measurement Options
Choose fast single-point or three-point standalone calibration, or use ARC X for more detailed seven-point and 21-point room analysis.

Three Programmable Scenes
Recall complete configurations from the front panel, including calibration profiles, speaker routing, subwoofer status and input selection.

Analog and Digital Connectivity
Balanced analog connections, USB-C audio and optical S/PDIF input and output accommodate a range of monitoring systems.

Customizable Target Curves
Use ARC X to edit target curves and tailor your monitoring response to different listening preferences or production needs.

Virtual Speaker Checks
Audition mixes through virtual speaker models in ARC X to assess how they translate to other playback systems.

Profiles Stored in Hardware
Upload your correction profiles and disconnect the software while calibration continues running inside the processor.

Stereo and 2.1 Support
Correct a stereo monitor pair or integrate a subwoofer into a calibrated monitoring system using monitors and subwoofers from any brand.
