In this week’s video, we take a look at the IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR headphone correction system. This hardware headphone DAC and amplifier corrects the frequency response for over 250 different headphone models. You use an app on your computer to set it up, but then the correction runs in the ARC ON-EAR, without needing to run the software to use it. And this means you can use it with your phone, too.

So, can you mix your video projects with headphones? And will your mix translate well for viewers on phones or speakers or in cars? With ARC ON-EAR, the mixes you make with headphones will translate better, because you’re listening with a more neutral sound than your headphones on their own.

If you want to nerd out on measurements of some specific headphones and how well ARC ON-EAR corrects them, have a look at DMS’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_TzR8cpc18
