IK Multimedia Arc On Ear

Change the game

Mixing with headphones has always been synonymous with compromise. Even 'reference' headphones colour the sound, while exaggerated stereo depth makes spatial judgement almost impossible. TheArc On Ear solves both these problems by restoring a neutral frequency response and a natural stereo image, so you can always trust what you hear.Arc On Ear is a game changer. It provides true-to-life monitoring so you can experience the natural perspective of high-end studio monitors in a properly set-up room. It gives you the chance to listen to crystal-clear sound, with advanced acoustic modelling, free from imperfect convolution, guaranteeing clarity and transparency. WithArc On Ear there are no approximations. You get reliable mixes from the very first take, which adapt to all playback systems. Finally, the integrated amplification guarantees a stable frequency response, with no coloration induced by the amplifier.

For greater precision

TheArc On Ear amplifier has the lowest distortion across the entire audio spectrum compared to high-end interfaces and market-leading laptops. Powered by a 32-bit ESS SABRE converter, a power amplifier with a high damping factor and ultra-low distortion, as well asdigitally controlled analogue volume stage, theArc On Ear offers a truly audiophile listening experience, without compromise.

The behaviour of a headphone amplifier has a direct impact on what you hear. Even high-end audio interfaces and mixers can alter the frequency response of headphones, sometimes subtly, sometimes significantly, depending on the model and its output impedance.Arc On Ear eliminates this variable. All calibration profiles are created using the same amplifier circuit as that used in the product, guaranteeing accurate, reliable and reproducible correction for all headphones and all listening sessions.
