IK Multimedia ARC X Monitor Calibration Software w/ Measurement Mic (Demo Deal)

IK Multimedia ARC X is more than just correction — it’s a next-generation platform for acoustic calibration, intelligent tuning, advanced voicing, and virtual monitoring. Built on IK’s industry-leading VRM (Volumetric Response Modeling) technology, ARC X transforms any room into a precision-tuned monitoring environment, ensuring your creative decisions translate flawlessly across every system. Whether you're producing in a small bedroom setup or mixing in a professional control room, ARC X gives you unmatched sonic accuracy and complete control over your sound.

ICONIC SPEAKER EMULATION

ARC X can precisely replicate the frequency and phase response of over 20 industry-standard reference monitors and playback systems. Quickly assess your mix on different speakers, from high-end studio monitors to consumer devices, without leaving the optimal listening position. The ARC virtual monitoring application works in conjunction with the correction settings to deliver the best sound possible in any listening environment, making it easy to test a mix across various reference systems quickly while saving money on unnecessary secondary monitors.

ARC X PLUG-IN FOR DAW-BASED WORKFLOWS

For those who own iLoud Micro Monitors or studio monitors from other brands, or prefer to keep calibration within the DAW, the ARC X plug-in provides the same high-quality correction as the hardware system, designed for in-the-box production workflows. Ideal for producers and engineers working entirely in the box, the plug-in provides precise monitoring correction directly on your master bus, with no hassle and full control. It also features advanced metering tools powered by T-RackS technology, including Peak, RMS, LUFS, and Dynamic Range, to help you visualize your mix and ensure compliance with today’s loudness standards.
