IK Multimedia ARC Studio+ Advanced Room Correction System Upgrade (Mic Not Included)

IK Multimedia ARC Studio+ Advanced Room Correction System Upgrade is a next-generation hardware processor that brings precise, repeatable monitoring to any studio. Designed as an upgrade for existing ARC users, this version delivers the latest ARC X room calibration engine in a sleek aluminium unit that corrects your speakers in real time, outside the DAW, with near-zero latency and no need for plug-ins.

Whether you are working in a permanent control room, a project studio or constantly changing environments, ARC Studio + helps you hear your mixes as they really are. Detailed multi-point measurement, integrated subwoofer management and flexible analogue and digital connectivity make it a powerful hub for modern hybrid workflows, ensuring your monitoring stays consistent regardless of the room or playback path.

Accurate Monitoring In Any Room

ARC Studio+ uses IK Multimedia's ARC X technology to analyse how your room and speakers interact, then applies precise correction to compensate for room modes, spectral imbalances and timing issues. With support for 1, 3, 7 or 21 measurement positions, you can tailor calibration to everything from a simple project space to a carefully treated control room, helping your mixes translate more reliably to other systems.

Standalone Hardware For Near-zero Latency

Correction is applied directly in the ARC Studio+ hardware, outside your DAW. This means you do not need to run any plug-ins or background software during playback, keeping latency to an absolute minimum and ensuring your monitoring remains consistent across different sessions, applications and even hardware-based or console workflows.

Fast, Flexible Calibration Workflows

For more demanding installations, ARC X software lets you create detailed multi-point profiles that can be uploaded to the processor and stored as onboard presets. When speed is more important than depth, a one-point standalone calibration mode lets you perform a quick measurement directly from the front panel, making ARC Studio + ideal for mobile rigs, temporary rooms and fast-changing production setups.

Integrated Subwoofer Management

ARC Studio+ includes a dedicated subwoofer output and intelligent bass management tools to simplify 2.1 monitoring. Automatic phase and level alignment, along with internal crossover optimisation, help your sub integrate smoothly with your main monitors, reducing low-frequency build-up and making it easier to judge bass and kick relationships with confidence.

• ARC X Room Calibration Engine - Advanced measurement and correction technology builds accurate monitoring profiles using up to 21 measurement positions, helping to tame room modes and frequency imbalances so you can make more confident mix decisions.
• Standalone Hardware Processing - Room correction runs directly on the ARC Studio + unit, delivering near-zero latency monitoring without relying on DAW plug-ins or additional software, and keeping your reference consistent across any workflow.
• Flexible Calibration Options - Choose between detailed multi-point calibration via ARC X software or rapid one-point standalone calibration from the front panel, giving you the freedom to adapt quickly to both permanent studios and temporary or untreated spaces.
• Integrated Subwoofer Management - Automatic sub detection, routing, phase and level alignment plus crossover optimisation make it straightforward to set up coherent stereo and 2.1 systems, improving low-end clarity and translation.
