IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR
Product information "IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR"
ARC ON·EAR – standalone, studio-quality headphone correction
ARC ON·EAR is the first portable device to combine headphone calibration and studio simulation in a compact system without plugins, software or a DAW. It enables precise, speaker-like sound reproduction across more than 250 supported headphone models.
Using measurement data from GRAS Acoustics and a high-resolution calibration engine, tonal coloration is precisely corrected. A specially developed crossfeed algorithm with a room-reflection model provides a natural stereo image, ideal for reliable mixing decisions even on the move.
Inside, an ES9290 DAC with 116 dB dynamic range is paired with a 200 mW headphone amplifier and an analogue volume control to deliver top audio quality at any listening level.
With 5 storable presets, a user-assignable FN button, USB-C and 3.5 mm jack, up to 4 hours of battery life and intuitive software control, ARC ON·EAR adapts to any workflow — in the studio, on the move or remote.

The company IK Multimedia is an innovative firm specialising in the development and production of music software and hardware. The company was founded in 1996 in Modena, Italy, where its headquarters are still located today.
The philosophy of IK Multimedia has always been: Musicians First!
All products and developments therefore must not simply work, but inspire musicians and producers when making music and at the same time encourage new creativity. IK Multimedia doesn't just meet expectations, it creates entirely new ones!
IK Multimedia offers a wide product range for musicians and producers. These include digital audio workstations (DAWs), virtual instruments, effect plug-ins but also synthesizers and MIDI controllers and much more.
The company has made a name for itself with groundbreaking products like AmpliTube, SampleTank as well as the versatile range of the popular iRig series. Very recently IK Multimedia has been shaking up the electric guitar market with products from the TONEX series. With the TONEX solution you can capture, store, tweak or share your amp sound. Using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence your amp or pedal sound (or both!) is captured and presented to you in digital form in the TONEX software. Your amp remains exactly as dynamic as you know it and the playing feel stays perfectly preserved!
