Instead of correcting a physical room it builds a virtual one.

IK\u2019s physical modelling recreates the behaviour of real monitors in an ideal studio rather than relying on impulse responses or artificial reverb. There are more than 20 pro monitor profiles at launch plus 15 real world playback targets such as car, phone, TV and soundbar. Over 250 headphone models are supported at launch with more coming.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<p><span class=\"\">You can get the IK ARC EAR-ON here:\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/GKMqer\"><span class=\"\">https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/GKMqer<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<h3><span class=\"\">First impressions<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<p><span class=\"\">We filmed the review at Sensible Music with\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"font-[700]\">Shelby Logan Warne<\/span><span class=\"\">\u00a0who had been up until 3 a.m. singing for her band\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"font-[700]\">Kyros<\/span><span class=\"\">. We opened the box on camera, installed the software and went straight to work. Build quality impressed immediately. The aluminium unit has weight, the controls feel positive and it comes with a neat carry case and bright orange cables that are hard to lose in a dark rack.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<p><span class=\"\">The fun started when we deliberately \u201cthrew IK under the bus\u201d with classic studio beaters. We selected the Beyerdynamic DT100 profile and hit play. The calibration curve was extreme which tracks with what DT100s sound like. With calibration engaged the transformation was not subtle. Bass appeared, mid glare relaxed and for the first time those tanks felt mixable. Take calibration off and it jumped straight back to nasal mid only. That single moment sold the core value of ARC ON\u00b7EAR better than any spec sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<p><span class=\"\">On DT770s the changes were tighter bass, clearer pick definition and easier low end decisions. Switching to Audio Technica M50x already a solid baseline calibration was more subtle. We heard low mids fill in and super high wisps above 10 kHz tuck in nicely. With Sennheiser HD650s calibration was the most gentle of all mostly a tidy up of low mids and a touch more composure down low. In other words the better and flatter the headphones the lighter the touch which is exactly what you want from a corrective system.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<p><span class=\"\">Real time switching was seamless with no pops or clicks. We saved presets for different cans and targets, tried the tilt tone control from warm to bright, checked mono and dim from the front panel and liked that the function button can be assigned right down to play or pause. The battery charged while in use over USB C and there is a 3.5 mm analogue input for non USB sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-63779 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"957\" height=\"574\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-scaled.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-1536x921.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-2048x1229.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-80x48.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-320x192.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-283x170.jpg 283w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-770x462.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-40x24.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-160x96.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-20x12.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-640x384.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-1010x606.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-567x340.jpg 567w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-17x10.jpg 17w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-500x300.jpg 500w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-15x9.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-385x231.jpg 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ARC_ON_EAR_SW_03_Headphones_Browser-1540x924.jpg 1540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 957px) 100vw, 957px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"\">Speaker emulations versus calibration<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<p><span class=\"\">The speaker and studio simulations add useful crossfeed and a nudge toward the behaviour of different monitors. However in our tests the differences between many of the nearfield profiles were more subtle than what you would hear on a meter bridge in a real room. Flip to TV, phone or a small Bluetooth speaker and the character change is obvious and helpful for translation checks. For nearfield to nearfield swaps it felt more like a tasteful suggestion than a night and day revoicing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<p><span class=\"\">The real star is the headphone calibration. That is where mixes became easier, balances snapped into place and problem cans turned usable.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<h3><span class=\"\">Day to day use<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-main__content\" data-test-id=\"publishing-text-block\">\n<p><span class=\"\">Out of the box you can drive it from the front panel. The companion software is where you pick your exact headphone model, choose monitor or consumer targets, set the tilt and save up to five presets on the hardware for instant recall. USB C and 3.5 mm inputs cover laptops, tablets and phones on any OS. The four hour battery and travel ready chassis make it a genuine throw in the bag solution. As a DAC it provides bit perfect playback with healthy headroom and a low noise floor so it doubles as a clean listening interface when you are not using virtual rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div
