IK Multimedia ARC X Room Correction Software with Microphone

Room Correction Software with Monitor Simulations and Measurement Mic - macOS/Windows

Achieve Studio-grade Acoustics in Any Room

Getting a professional, clear balance of sound isn't only reserved for world-class studios. With IK Multimedia's ARC X software, you'll be able to calibrate the acoustics of any room using the included measurement microphone. That said, ARC X offers more than just automated room correction - it's a next-generation solution for acoustic calibration, intelligent tuning, advanced voicing, and virtual monitoring. Built on IK's industry-leading VRM (Volumetric Response Modeling) technology, ARC X boasts an easy-to-navigate graphical interface, enabling you to build complex acoustic configurations, including immersive and multichannel setups, with fully automated system calibration across all connected speakers. Moreover, you get accurate, true-to-life simulations of several industry-standard reference systems - from professional studio monitors to common consumer devices. You can use ARC X as a plug-in in your DAW, plus you also get seamless integration with select IK hardware, including iLoud Precision MKII monitors and the ARC Studio. Simply put, ARC X transforms any room into a precisely calibrated space, ensuring mixes that translate with unwavering consistency and confidence.

3D room analysis for perfectly tuned monitoring

A direct placement for IK Multimedia's X-Monitor and their ARC 4 software, ARC X detects and eliminates room coloration at three distinct heights, creating a three-dimensional snapshot of your production space. The result sounds incredibly natural, providing you with an experience remarkably similar to mixing in a properly treated room. Moreover, ARC X features advanced tuning functionality, enabling you to shape the tonal balance of your monitoring setup to match your personal tastes and creative goals.

Hear your mix on any system - without leaving your chair

Room correction isn't ARC X's only forte; it also includes advanced speaker simulations. This enables you to check your mixes on a whole host of tried-and-true reference sources, ranging from high-end studio monitors to consumer playback devices. We've auditioned every studio monitor under the sun here and we're quite impressed by the industry-leading quality of these true-to-life emulations. Moreover, ARC X provides you with real-time monitor control, enabling you to seamlessly switch between profiles, voicings, and calibration modes. Ultimately, whether working in a professional studio, a treated home environment, or a portable setup, IK Multimedia's ARC X ensures that all your monitors operate at their fullest potential.

Pro-level correction with or without IK hardware

The ARC X plug-in delivers the same high-quality monitoring correction as its hardware counterpart, making it ideal for producers and engineers who work entirely within a DAW. Purpose-built for in-the-box workflows, the plug-in applies precise calibration directly to your master bus, giving you full control and a hassle-free setup. Additionally, you can integrate ARC X software directly into IK's iLoud Precision MKI and MKII, iLoud MTM MKII, and iLoud Micro Monitor Pro studio monitors, bringing you latency-free optimization without taxing your CPU. For non-IK monitors, pairing ARC X with the ARC Studio hardware unlocks the same zero-latency, zero-CPU performance. Regardless of whether you run it as a plug-in or through dedicated hardware, ARC X puts one of the industry's most respected room-correction systems at the heart of your monitoring chain, ensuring that what you hear is always accurate and ready for translation.
