IK Multimedia’s newly announced ARC ON·EAR system is the latest in the company’s line of ‘Advanced Room Corrective’ products - a series aiming to give producers and music-makers the most perfectly-tailored listening experience when working on their projects.
The difference, with ARC ON·EAR here is that the 'room' in question in an entirely virtual simulation, constructed to help those mixing solely in headphones.
A small portable hardware device, the ARC ON·EAR immediately corrects any set of headphones’ frequency response to create what IK say is an accurately-modelled recreation of the soundstage of a set of pro-level monitors within a virtual studio environment.
