Top producers and engineers share why they rely on it anywhere
For decades, headphones have been invaluable when working away from studio monitors, but difficult to trust for critical mixing decisions. Every model has its own tonal character, while the unnatural stereo presentation of headphones makes judging levels, panning, ambience, and space more challenging.
ARC ON•EAR solves both problems with precision headphone calibration and studio simulation in a compact, standalone system. And with support now extended to in-ear monitors, producers, mix engineers, and live sound professionals can take a consistent, trusted reference virtually anywhere. Here’s what some of the industry’s leading professionals have to say.
