"It helps incredibly to compensate for real weaknesses and to establish an environment which is, at the same time, affordable and as close to the ideal as possible. As it costs less than 300 Euros, it's a no brainer and needs no further explanation."
Raveline, Germany's biggest DJ magazine, has reviewed IK's brandnew ARC System 2 in their October 2012 issue. You can read some of their enthusiastic comments here:
"I'd like to make a positive comment about the supplied microphone which is of such a high quality that it can be used to record acoustic instruments in a studio. It delivers a very pleasant neutral, uncoloured sound which is ideal for further editing. Therefore the microphone can be seen as real added value to the package."
"hasslefree installation"
"Everywhere where architectural opportunities have come to an end or are limited by practical conditions, ARC 2 convinces from start to finish. Even acoustically balanced rooms become more transparent after treatment by ARC System."
"It helps incredibly to compensate for real weaknesses and to establish an environment which is, at the same time, affordable and as close to the ideal as possible. As it costs less than 300 Euros, it's a no brainer and needs no further explanation."
Read some quotes from the original review in German:
"Positiv ist dabei herauszuheben, dass das Mikrofon qualitativ so hochwertig ist, dass es sich auch im Studioalltag zur Abnahme Akustischer Instrumente anbietet. Es liefert dabei einen sehr neutralen, nüchternen Klang, der sich ideal weiterarbeitet lässt. Somit kann das Mikro als echter Mehrwert bezeichnet werden."
"Problemlose Installation"
"Wo aber die architektonischen Möglichkeiten aufhören oder schlichtweg praxisgebene Bedingungen Grenzen setzen, überzeugt das ARC 2 auf ganzer Linie. Selbst gut ausbalancierte Räume gewinnen durch eine Bearbeitung mit ARC 2 an Transparenz."
"es hilft ungeheim, tatsächliche Schwächen auszugleichen und eine erschwingliche und zugleich möglichst nah ans Optimum heranragende Situation zu schaffen. Für unter 300 Euro braucht es da eigentlich gar keine Diskussion."
