  • Considering new studio monitors - try this first!
I have a project studio (one half shown in photos) in a rental apartment so am a bit limited as to modifications that can be made for acoustic treatment; the room is very minimally treated and I knew some of its problems already. The room correction results I was able to get using the IK Multimedia ARC Studio v4 are quite impressive for my monitoring system (Heritage Audio RAM System 2000, Mackie HRS10 Sub and HR624mkII monitors). Currently, I have limited the range of the correction to the HR624s from about 53Hz to 16kHz, but once you have taken all the measurements (takes around 10 minutes for 21 points - very simple) it's very easy to change frequency ranges and target curves; the resulting sound is incredible given my room and monitoring system. Is it perfect - no - but given the starting point it's tremendously better; I think this is evidenced in the before and after graphs, but the graphs don't do justice to just how much better the resulting sound is; sound stage and separation are drastically increased, lows tightened, mids evened out and vocals have become much clearer. Should you purchase it? While there is no substitute for a well treated room - $300 (the cost of the ARC system) is probably not going to get you very far in traps, diffusers, absorbers, etc. (even if you DIY) - and your room will still have problems; so, for my use cases and budget it was definitely worth a try. I think that it will be my best studio purchase of 2024. Perhaps it will be yours also? ... show more

  • My old monitors just got a new life
Very happy so far. Easy setup and calibration. Excellent sound quality. I have an old pair of Mackie HR824s that I was about to retire because they had a harshness that I couldn’t get rid of. My home studio is in an oddly shaped gameroom which is problematic sound wise. A few years ago I treated all the first reflection points and did some bass trapping which definitely helped but my Mackies still didn’t sound right. I decided to give arc studio 4 a try and it works beautifully. It successfully flattened out a couple of problem areas that were happening at around 200hz and 100hz and the resulting sound is much better and a lot easier to work with. Also, I like having Arc Studio 4 as a set it and forget hardware solution vs a plug in that only works on the master of your DAW. All in all this product is a real winner in my book. ... show more

  • Game Changer!
ARC Studio is a game-changer! I highly recommend it. You can definitely hear the difference right away. Works great with my Classic 5s.

  • Great for Bad Rooms
This is an interesting product, instead of "correcting" a bad room, which can be quite expensive, you can contour and adjust your studio digitally, and all dynamically. It's remarkably simple to setup and use considering what it does. I have a little room treatment that tones down a bad room, this does a better job at a lower cost. If you have a great room or a ton of room treatments and things are dialed in, you don't need this, if you're considering room treatment and not sure how to address problems, this will do the hard work for you. Pretty cool product for the right user! ... show more

  • Probably Good For Some People - Not Much Benefit Over ARC 3
I have ARC 3, and it works fairly well. I have a decent setup (API's The Box, KH-120s with a sub, bunch of outboard gear, etc.). The most important thing that most people overlook isn't room treatment; it's monitor and monitoring positioning. If you read the instructions that come with your speakers, set them up accordingly, and sit in the right spot you're going to be ahead of the game before any correction software comes into play - and that software will only make things worse. My KH-120s are on isolated boxes that I built and filled with sand. They sit at ear level, and the drivers are 37" apart. There is no wall behind them. The manual for my speakers states that they should not have a wall 1.75 meters (about 5 3/4 feet) behind them and recommends the same distance to a solid ceiling (mine is soft and over that) and notes installation angle and distance to side walls. Lastly, your speakers should be set using the installation angle in the manual. I own ARC 3, so for fun, I took measurements using ARC 3 and ARC 4. The results were similar, as were the corrections. The included microphone is nice, because the software is optimized for it. ARC 4 comes with a box that hooks up between monitors and your output, adding a small amount of latency. I'm using AVID Carbon to reduce latency and found the box annoying, as it needs USB power. The wall wart is made at an angle so that it may cover at least one outlet in your strip/conditioner. Had the plug been oriented differently, it would not be a problem. The box allows a hardware on/off button for the correction. The plugin has a bypass button, so IMHO it's unnecessary. It does allow for correction outside of a DAW, so some people may like this. Also, some folks like dongle boxes. As far as sound, there's not a ton of difference between v3 and v4. I heard the expected slight boost in my lower mids eliminated, but I know it's there so it's not much of an issue for me. The v4 has more profiles to check a mix, so that may be useful for some. I know my speakers well enough that my mixes translate fine. I can see this being useful for some people. All in all, this system works as described, but if care is taken to position monitors to manufacturers' specs, it may not be needed. Some may be in rooms where this isn't possible, and if that's the case, I could see it being useful. ... show more
