Version 1.3 of the IK Multimedia ARC System is here, updating the Advanced Room Correction System with Native compatibility with 64-bit applications and operating systems, plus a new pricing structure.

The ARC System features Audyssey MultEQ technology, which measures acoustical information throughout the listening area in your studio. It then combines this information to provide an accurate representation of the room’s acoustical problems. The equalization solution then corrects for both time and frequency response problems more effectively and efficiently than any other room correction EQ on the market, IK Multimedia says. Overall, the system provides a clear and reliable representation of your mix regardless of the acoustical issues in your studio, or what you are recording, mixing or mastering.

According to the manufacturer, the ARC System delivers the most advanced solution to acoustical problems for any DAW-based studio. It combines a professional calibrated measurement microphone, standalone software that captures sound information and calculates proper room correction, and a multi-platform plugin.

ARC System version 1.3 features:

• A room correction system in a plugin for DAW-based studios
• Includes a calibrated measurement microphone, measurement software, and multi-platform correction plugin
• Improves clarity, stereo imaging, and frequency response for faster, more reliable mixing
• Audyssey MultEQ technology corrects frequency and phase response for multiple points in the room
• Includes a step-by-step setup measurement wizard to help you get started
• A convenient mobile correction solution for the traveling engineer
• Natively compatible with 64-bit applications and operating systems

Said to be the perfect companion to the IK Multimedia’s T-RackS 3.5 mixing and mastering suite, the ARC System is now more affordable for studio owners wanting to bring custom control room tuning to their large or small music studios. Price reductions start at 50 percent off of the previous systems’ prices.

The Native version of the ARC System is now $299.99 with a cross-grade option at $249.99. The TDM version of the ARC System costs $349.99, with a cross-grade option at $299.99. Likewise, an upgrade from the Native version to the TDM version is available for $99.99.
