Combining a professionally calibrated microphone, standalone software that captures sound information and calculates proper room correction, and a multi-platform plug-in: this technology will improve how your studio sounds forever.
ARC System costs $699 USD/579 EUR (Crossgrade price: $499 USD/419 EUR), and will be available within the last quarter of 2007.
