The combination of high-precision measurement MEMS microphones, analysis software, and correction plug-ins (AAX/AU/VST format for Mac/Windows) improves the monitoring accuracy of any space. A correctly corrected sound field leads to accurate and quick mixing decisions and also provides inspiration for more proactive sound creation. ARC 3 can be easily incorporated into any system, with a simple measurement procedure, a completely new correction algorithm, and a highly visible GUI, and will improve the accuracy of your mixing work.

ARC 3 can be easily incorporated into any system, with a simple measurement procedure, a completely new correction algorithm, and a highly visible GUI, and will improve the accuracy of your mixing work.

""The new analysis algorithm developed this time measures the acoustics at three different heights (3D room analysis) and provides natural, unprocessed, and highly accurate sound. It achieves more accurate correction with a streamlined measurement process that can be completed in less time than the previous version. The addition of advanced control functions such as a resizable Retina display compatible GUI, correction frequency band, and resolution adjustment has also improved the workflow.

By creating and saving measurement data at multiple monitors and listening positions, you can adjust the sweet spot to suit your setup, such as for solo work, two-person team work, or client seats.

Once the measurement is complete, insert the ARC System 3 plug-in on the master bus of your DAW and load the profile saved during the measurement. That's it, the ARC System 3 plug-in is ready to use. The ARC System 3's precise compensation filters compensate for the acoustic characteristics of the room. By mixing in this state, you can finish a work that is free of bias in the playback environment.

It also provides convenient meters such as peak, RMS, loudness, and dynamic range meters to help you make decisions when mixing and speed up your workflow. The real-time spectrum analyzer displays the signal before compensation and shows how the room affected the sound.

The ARC System 3 provides a natural listening experience like an optimally acoustically treated room, not a ""compensated"" sound, in any studio. ""
