IK Multimedia has announced the latest expansion of its ARC room correction technology, extending accurate, automated calibration from stereo and stereo-plus-sub systems to full immersive monitoring setups up to 9.1.6.
ARC X Immersive is available as an update within ARC X, allowing qualifying users to access immersive capabilities within their existing installation.
Designed for modern immersive workflows, ARC X Immersive simplifies one of the most complex and error-prone aspects of multichannel production. It ensures consistent, accurate performance across an entire speaker system.
By bringing measurement, alignment, and correction together within a single integrated system, ARC X Immersive transforms any room into a reliable reference environment, with improved spatial accuracy and more reliable translation across playback systems.
“In an immersive system, all speakers must behave as a single 3D sound source,” said Davide Barbi, CTO of IK Multimedia. “That requires precise alignment of level, timing, and frequency response across every channel – a process that is traditionally complex, time-consuming, and highly dependent on technical expertise.
With ARC X Immersive, we’ve combined measurement, alignment, and room correction into a single integrated system, allowing engineers to achieve a fully calibrated monitoring environment in minutes and focus on what matters most: creating.”
