IK Multimedia 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 DAW. It enables precise, speaker-like sound reproduction on over 250 supported headphone models.

Thanks to measurement data from GRAS Acoustics and a high-resolution calibration engine, tonal coloration is specifically corrected. A specially developed crossfeed algorithm with a room reflection model ensures a natural stereo image, ideal for reliable mixing decisions even on the go.

Inside, an ES9290 DAC with 116 dB dynamic range is combined with a 200 mW headphone amplifier and analog volume control for the highest audio quality at any volume.

With 5 storable presets, individually 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, whether in the studio, on the go, or remotely.
