IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR Product Details
IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR - The world's first standalone headphone correction system
Introduction: Pocket-sized precision - IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR
The IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR is a technical masterpiece that combines audiophile sound quality and professional headphone correction in one portable device. In a world where mobile working has become the norm, the ARC ON-EAR is the answer to a key challenge: reliable monitoring on headphones - without any software, plugins or DAW. The combination of a high-quality D/A converter, powerful headphone amplifier and sophisticated calibration technology makes this device an indispensable companion for musicians, producers and sound engineers.
Whether on the road, in the home studio or in a professional environment - with the IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR you are always in control of your sound. This compact system revolutionizes the way we mix and produce on headphones, bringing studio quality directly to your ears. Thanks to intelligent room simulation and user-friendly operation, the ARC ON-EAR opens up a new dimension in mobile audio monitoring.
Manufacturer: IK Multimedia - Innovation meets audio quality
IK Multimedia has made a name for itself worldwide as a developer of innovative audio solutions. With a special focus on mobile productions, studio tools and musicians' equipment, the brand combines Italian engineering with practical application. IK Multimedia products stand for creative freedom, high fidelity and ease of use.
With the ARC ON-EAR, IK Multimedia is once again breaking new ground: for the first time, a standalone headphone correction system is being presented that requires no additional software and still delivers studio quality. IK Multimedia works closely with leading acoustics experts such as GRAS Acoustics to guarantee maximum precision and realism. This partnership exemplifies the high standards that IK Multimedia sets for its developments.
Technical details: Sound correction, room simulation and uncompromising audio quality
The IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR combines several highly developed technologies in one compact device. The focus is on exact headphone calibration, which is made possible by more than 250 manually created profiles. These are based on precise measurements of the headphone acoustics - including the interaction with the human ear canal. The result: a high-resolution calibration that eliminates frequency coloration and thus ensures a neutral sound image.
Studio simulation is also a central feature of the ARC ON-EAR. A specially developed crossfeed algorithm and a model for early reflections create a realistic listening situation - without any convolution reverb. This allows an accurate assessment of panorama, stereo width and room information, which is otherwise only known from acoustically optimized control rooms.
The integrated ES9290 DAC guarantees impressive sound fidelity with a dynamic range of 116 dB and a THD+N value of -110 dB. In combination with the digitally controlled analog volume control, the resolution is maintained even during quiet playback - a decisive advantage over purely digital systems. The headphone amplifier delivers up to 200 mW of power and can therefore drive even high-impedance studio headphones without any problems.
Last but not least, the ARC ON-EAR impresses with its practical functions: Five storable presets allow direct access to various headphone profiles, studio simulations and user-defined settings. The FN button can be assigned useful functions such as muting, dimming or A/B comparison - ideal for a quick workflow. The integrated rechargeable battery offers up to 4 hours of operating time and enables true mobile monitoring, supported by both USB-C (digital) and 3.5 mm jack (analog).
Recommended buy: Why the IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR is the perfect solution for mobile mixing
Whether on the road, in the home studio or on tour - the IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR is an indispensable tool for anyone who needs to work professionally on headphones. Thanks to its advanced calibration technology, it brings headphones up to the level of high-quality studio monitors. This makes mixing decisions more accurate and reliable - even in acoustically untreated rooms.
For producers, content creators and sound engineers, the ARC ON-EAR offers unprecedented flexibility: no cumbersome setup, no software dependency, no compromise on sound quality. Instead, you get a powerful, portable system with intuitive operation that integrates seamlessly into any workflow. If you don't want to do without precise monitoring when traveling or want to achieve professional results in your home office, you will be delighted with the ARC ON-EAR.
What's more, investing in this device also makes economic sense: instead of calibrating several headphones individually or resorting to expensive acoustic measures, a single ARC ON-EAR device is all you need - compatible with almost any headphone model. Thanks to the preset storage and intuitive app management, it is easy to switch quickly between different headphones and projects.
