NEW room correction product VS horrid monitoring setup - ARC Studio hardware speaker correction!
Музыка
My Neumann KH120a speakers are both being repaired. When IK Multimedia offered to send over their new room correction solution I was forced to dig out my old Tannoy Reveals and get the old hifi amp out of my mum's garage to give it a spin.

No doubt 20 year old speakers might have worn out components. Coved ceiling as well? You're braver than I. Very entertaining vid.
I discovered your channel because of this video. Great work 🙂

Thanks! Welcome aboard!
I just got mine set up. The attraction for me is the hardware box - I had a home-grown in line digital filter before but it only had 8 filters, not enough. You do know that ARC4 has a KH120A emulation profile? 😉

I did see that! Happily my actually 120s are back with me. I wonder if there’s an NAD/Tannoy Reveal setting…
Ah, Jon. You got one of THOSE speaking voices. I couldn't care less about the product. I am just here to relax, watch, listen. Cheers!

Ha! Cheers! I think!
Thank you for addressing the latency issue. Does the bypass button disable the digital circuitry and DAC on the box (true bypass)? Or does it merely disable the correction EQ?

I believe so - the button operates a relay which clicks and I can’t imagine they’d bother with that if anything at all is left in-line. Manual says: ‘CORRECTION: This button enables or disables the audio processing. When CORRECTION is off, the unit is bypassed and the input signal is routed directly to the output.’

@@JonWrightMusicTV Oh, thank you! This is exactly what I wanted to know!
If it allowed for applying a crossover (hpf) i'd buy one right now.

Can I ask why you’d want that? I don’t immediately understand why you’d want to control only part of the spectrum

@@JonWrightMusicTV it's useful when you have a (or several) subwoofers. It's easier to integrate. Mine has a low pass filter so i only need a high pass one in the source. Unfortunately, apart from home theater gear, not many other kit has one.
Been using ARC 3 in my mixing studio and I've found it superb for ironing out a few areas treatment wouldn't fix, and in natural mode the already good stereo imaging got even better. I'm really hoping IK offer a good crossgrade price on this! 😎

Not comparable. This is an in-line analogue box (with digital insides) that will work with any 2:1 monitoring or console or DAW or.... you get the idea.
I really like the idea of having a box rather than software, might invest in this in the future

any issues with preringing in the linear phase mode?

If you take the box out of the equation, the question is: Does ARC Studio sound any better than Sonarworks? Would be interesting with a comparison...

ARC4 seems better than ARC and Sonarworks in my application, just been doing listening tests. It looks the same as ARC3 mostly but seems better.

I certainly don’t know. If we need room analysis software to show us the inaccuracies of our speakers and rooms, it seems unlikely that our perception would be good enough to identify which correction is most accurate. Isn’t that logical?
