"We have nothing to quibble about this plug-in, its price is justified by the inclusion of the microphone. ARC 2 is an effective solution and we highly recommend it!"
Audiofanzine has tested the recently released new version of IK's Acoustic Room Correction System, ARC 2 and here's is what they found out:
"ARC 1 was already very interesting to home-studio owners, and this second version makes it even more so, thanks to the incorporation of Audyssey's MultEQ XT32 algorithm which allows for a more precise correction of bass frequencies which otherwise tends to be very problematic. We also appreciate the new "Virtual Monitoring" feature which makes it possible to quickly listen to your mixes the way they would sound on a TV or on a ghetto blaster: handy! We have nothing to quibble about this plug-in, its price is justified by the inclusion of the microphone.
ARC 2 is an effective solution and we highly recommend it!"
+ effective concept
+ Audyssey's MultEQ XT32 algorithm
+ fewer measurements needed
+ better bass frequencies management
+ includes a microphone
Here are some quotes from the original review in French:
"L'ARC était déjà intéressant pour les home-studistes et cette deuxième version enfonce le clou grâce à l'intégration du nouvel algorithme d'Audyssey, MultEQ XT32, permettant de corriger avec plus de précision les basses fréquences, souvent sources de problèmes. Nous apprécions aussi la venue des « Virtual Monitoring » permettant d'écouter rapidement ses mix sur une télé ou un ghetto blaster : pratique ! Pas grand-chose à reprocher à ce plug-in, son prix étant justifié par la présence du micro statique... l'ARC est une solution efficace et fortement recommandable."
+ Concept efficace
+ Algorithme Audyssey MultEQ XT32
+ Moins de mesures à faire
+ Meilleure gestion des basses fréquences
+ Micro fourni
