IK Multimedia has launched ARC On Ear, a headphone correction system that enhances frequency response and stereo imaging using calibration profiles measured with reference equipment. The device supports hundreds of headphone models and emulates more than 20 virtual studio monitors and 15 multimedia playback systems, allowing users to test mixes through different audio environments. The portable unit contains a 32-bit ESS digital-to-analog converter, a high-quality amplifier, and digitally controlled volume, accepting digital audio through USB and analog sources through a 3.5mm socket.
Software lets users configure and store up to five calibration profiles, while a rechargeable battery provides four hours of operation per charge. The system costs 249.99 euros through Oct. 17 before returning to its standard 299.99-euro price.
