IK Multimedia ARC Studio. Standalone advanced room correction system. Includes hardware processor unit, ARC 4 software and measurement mic

This is excellent, in natural mode has really cleaned up the sound for my dj setup with zero latency (important as I mix vinyl). On default mode it sorted out some bass boominess. On sharp mode sounded awesome in my mixing spot but created boominess in the whole house. I did turn the subwoofer up again after correction though...

What!??! You mean you haven't got one of these super little boxes. Basically its a multi band 2 channel active eq that sits between your output card and your studio monitors. Watch the vids on YouTube. It does exactly what it says on the tin. Perfectly. Takes about 30mins to set up, then just leave it alone. Once the eq curve data has been sent from computer to the ARC magic box, there's no need to run the software, so freeing up processor power. Buy one today...don't forget to order additional xlr patch cables.

I needed to know that the studio acoustics were neutral and this piece of hardware and accompanying software gave me the assurance that the monitors were set up to be accurate foe mixing and mastering . It was easy to use the software, and provided microphone ,to measure the rooms acoustics. (it is worth using the 'advanced' set-up procedure) The fact that the readings are then stored onto the hardware interface is a bonus as it does away with any latency. I am very happy with this product.

used for ~30sqm untreated room, removed nearly all of the additive room modes. Works like a charm.

The unit itself is well packaged and constructed. It is very easy to follow the instructions and set up. Make sure you have the correct cables. If you are looking at this, I assume you know what ones you will need. I suggest you get a decent mic stand to help with your set up. It's much easier than trying to hold the mic in hand while taking your readings. Registering, downloading and setting up the software is a bit long winded, but easy enough. The software itself is intuitive and easy to use. Now, does it actually work? Well, yes. My room is the opposite of ideal. My desk is in a corner, with my monitors against the wall, and a sub under my desk. I only have my sub on low, just enough to extend the low end, but the software showed massive spikes at around 60hz and again around 150hz. Once the correction was made, the difference was immediately noticeable. The low end is still present and punchy, but is sounds much tighter. The mud has all but gone, and the mid range and hi end seems to stand out more. Everything just sounds clean. I think it will take a little while to get used to the change, but I can already tell the difference in my mixes. It's much easier to hear all my mistakes!

I have always used this company but this is the best version of the product today and this update makes sense for anyone who has a home studio or pro, If you love your hobby you should check it out tell your self your worth it and believe it and invest in your self or no one else will think about it?

No hassle setup, absolutely excited to try different combinations. Turning on and off shows dramatic difference, so you think - this is what I thought is a good imaging before? Absolutely amazing.

Just could not justify £300 spend, sent it back I had to listen very hard to notice any room correction. I have a pair of Dynaudio high end monitors in a room with pictures on the wall with one side of the room with windows taking up hall the wall two arm chairs an a sofa, hard floor with a big rug, no acoustic treatment, so it’s a bit live. I followed the set up procedures to the book. Not impressed. I thought the reviews on Ytube were genuine but me thinks back handers for the reviewers
