IK Multimedia ARC ON EAR

IK Multimedia ARC ON•EAR – Portable Headphone DAC, Amplifier, and Correction System

The IK Multimedia ARC ON•EAR is a revolutionary standalone device designed for musicians and sound engineers who want to achieve studio-quality sound through headphones anywhere. It's not just an amplifier – it's an intelligent "bridge" between your headphones and the audio source, instantly correcting the headphone frequency response, removing coloration, and creating the impression that you are mixing in a professional studio with high-end monitors.

The device integrates an audiophile-grade DAC and amplifier along with a powerful DSP processor running ARC correction technology. This allows you to forget about guesswork when mixing on headphones, as the device reproduces an accurate, flat frequency response and a realistic stereo image. Using the control software, you can upload up to 5 different profiles optimized for hundreds of popular headphone models into the device's memory.
