For the first time, critical headphone mixing is truly reliable. IK Multimedia ARC ON•EAR is a standalone headphone DAC and amplifier solution that instantly corrects your headphones’ response and recreates the soundstage of professional studio monitors — so you can mix, master, and produce with confidence wherever you are.
Most headphones — even high-end models — color your sound, masking crucial details. With support for over 250 headphone models, ARC ON•EAR uses precision calibration profiles, measured on state-of-the-art rigs, to flatten your headphones’ frequency response for transparent, reliable sound. Unlike plug-ins or convolution-based virtual room plug-ins, ARC ON•EAR uses proprietary DSP and physical modeling to recreate the natural feel of studio monitors in a room, enabling precise mix decisions and achieving ideal tonal and spatial balance, depth, and width.
ARC ON•EAR’s Virtual Speaker feature lets you instantly test your mix on a range of real-world reference systems: studio monitors, car audio systems, smartphones, TV sets and more. With over 20 virtual studio monitors and more than 15 multimedia playback systems available, you’ll precisely understand how your mix translates without ever taking off your headphones.
ARC ON•EAR functions as a standalone hardware unit, requiring no software, drivers, or plug-ins. It features USB-C and 3.5 mm audio inputs for all sources. ARC ON•EAR is compatible with any OS, app, or playback system. Store up to 5 presets for quick access. It is conveniently powered by a 4-hour rechargeable battery.
Featuring ESS SABRE 32-bit converters, high-current headphone amplification, and a digitally controlled analog volume control, ARC ON•EAR ensures pristine sound quality. Manage headphone profiles, simulations, and presets with the dedicated ARC ON•EAR Control Software. Fine-tune sonics to your personal preference and save and load presets. Assign functions to the user-assignable button and update your headphone library
This could be a great tool for producers who are often on the move. I've been using the ARC On-Ear for a few weeks now, and it's completely changed how I mix on headphones. The room correction and monitor emulation are spot-on — it actually feels like I'm working in a treated studio, even when I'm traveling. The sound is clear, balanced, and incredibly accurate, and the build quality is top-notch. Easily one of the best investments I've made for my setup.
Phenomenal tool, being able to calibrate your headphone editing the curve to your liking and saving it on the hardware without ever having to open the plugin again is a dream come true. Product of the year for me, made my Audeze LCD-XC more balanced the way I wish they sounded from the factory.
