[Product Features] Rest assured, headphone mixes are safe. Headphones on the market today, even professional models, don't accurately convey every detail of your sound. Their frequency response isn't perfectly flat, and their exaggerated stereo image distorts balance, tone, and the sense of space. This results in more mix retakes, increased ear fatigue, and the final product may have an unintended balance when played in other environments. ARC ON-EAR is a standalone headphone DAC & amp that instantly corrects the characteristics of your headphones, recreating the spatial experience of mixing with professional studio monitors. ARC ON EAR gives you the confidence to create a headphone mix wherever you are. Headphone Correction / Virtual Monitoring System - Premium-grade DAC and headphone amplifier with built-in correction function - Eliminate headphone mix uncertainty for reliable monitoring - Realistically reproduces the sound field of an actual studio monitor - Enables virtual listening of various playback systems - Includes dedicated software that can save and recall up to five profiles - Compatible with hundreds of popular headphones - Built-in rechargeable battery allows up to 4 hours of playback - Supports any playback device with both digital and analog input terminals ●No compromises or guesswork required Mixing on headphones has always involved compromises. Even headphones that claim to be references tend to color the sound and have an exaggerated stereo image that makes it difficult to judge space. ARC ON EAR reproduces a neutral frequency response and natural stereo image, allowing you to work with "sound you can really trust." ARC ON?EAR: Changing monitoring Realistic monitoring Experience natural sound positioning and imaging, just like monitoring with high-end studio monitors in a properly tuned studio. Clear Sound Advanced acoustic modeling overcomes the limitations of conventional convolution technology to deliver clear, transparent sound. Mixes you can trust A precise monitoring environment allows you to create mixes that work in any environment. Stable playback characteristics The built-in amplifier guarantees stable frequency characteristics without coloration. ●For reliable sound, each headphone has its own unique personality, which can be thought of as its own ``sound fingerprint.'' ARC ON EAR uses precise calibration profiles obtained through state-of-the-art measurement systems to apply accurate, transparent, and reliable correction that is optimal for your headphones. ARC ON EAR supports hundreds of leading headphones, providing clear, balanced, and accurate correction for most headphones. Studio monitor sound with headphones Unlike traditional plug-ins or impulse response-based "virtual rooms," ARC ON EAR's virtual monitoring uses advanced physical modeling to recreate the behavior of actual studio monitors in an ideal acoustic space. There's no artificial reverb or tonal coloration whatsoever - you get the depth, spaciousness and clarity of a real control room experience through your headphones. ●Control with dedicated software The dedicated ARC ON・EAR software allows you to smoothly perform everything from setup to sound adjustment.
