Acoustic room-response measurement system with calibrated mic and software.

The ARC Advanced Room Correction System Education Edition is for qualified educators only.

If you're going to teach students effectively about the world of computer music recording, it's important to have optimal acoustics in your recording environment. However, very few schools have acoustically treated spaces for a proper listening environment. The ARC system is a very cost-effective means of providing the benefits of professional acoustic room treatment and an educational experience in and of itself. The education edition of the ARC system helps music instructors save even more money on this advanced room correction software solution.

In the world of music recording, the combination of monitoring speakers and room acoustics can be the biggest obstacle to accurate sound. Instead of hearing the music you are producing, you actually get a distorted sound created by the partial absorption of output reflected in the walls, ceilings, furniture, and surrounding objects in the recording studio. With many DAW home and classroom recording situations, this is especially troubling.

IK Multimedia has the answer to this problem. Teaming up with sound equalization solution leader, Audyessy, they've created the first room correction system in a plug-in form for DAW studios: the ARC System. What is it? Using Audessey's MultEQ technology, the included calibrated measurement microphone, measurement software, and multi-platform correction plug-in measures acoustical information throughout the listening area of your studio. ARC sniffs out the sweet spots and dead areas. It combines this collected information and then corrects both time and frequency response problems, so you'll get a clearer, more reliable representation of your musical mix.

With the ARC System, the improvement on your class' studio sound will be fairly instant and can be improved anytime as things are moved and more bodies or instruments are brought in. Finally, you'll be able to tune the room and trust that what you're hearing is what you're getting. This means faster recording schedules, more honest mixes, and superior mastering all the way around.
