ARC Studio+ takes the room out of the equation: kick and bass lock together, vocal presence is easier to judge and your mixes translate beyond the room. Because correction lives in the hardware, the same calibrated reference is there whether you are recording, mixing, mastering, editing video or simply listening – and the integrated sub management turns a stereo pair and a subwoofer into one coherent 2.1 system without external processors or manual measurement work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSample rates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConversion resolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32-bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Hz – 87 kHz (-2 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 dB (A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD \/ THD+N (1 kHz, -1 dBFS):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.00011% \/ 0.00023%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel crosstalk (1 kHz):\u003c\/strong\u003e -134 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × balanced XLR\/TRS combo, USB-C digital audio, optical S\/PDIF, ARC microphone input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × balanced XLR monitor, 1 × balanced sub, optical S\/PDIF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax input \/ output level:\u003c\/strong\u003e +18 dBu \/ +18 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 kΩ input (balanced), 50 Ω output (balanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 ms (Natural Phase), 42 ms (Linear Phase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 V DC, 2.5 A (power supply included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.7 × 12.2 × 4.4 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 625 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARC Studio+ room-correction processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARC measurement microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARC microphone clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARC microphone pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARC X software (download)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUse Cases \/ Ideal For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProject and professional studios, compact writing rooms, hybrid setups with hardware synths and outboard, console rooms, post-production suites and temporary spaces – anywhere you need monitoring you can trust, with or without a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks with any brand of studio monitors and any subwoofer.
