ARC ON•EAR Setup and Review

The GarageBand Guide: “The built-in DAC alone improves clarity and depth.”

IK's new ARC ON•EAR is a revolutionary standalone headphone DAC and amplifier that instantly corrects your headphone's response and recreates the experience of mixing on professional studio monitors. It's now available to enable critical mixing wherever you go.

In this video, Patrick from The GarageBand Guide takes a closer look at ‪ARC ON•EAR and discusses who might benefit most from this high-tech device. Check it out.

ARC ON•EAR shines with its virtual studio features. You can use the calibration section to add some warmth or brightness to the calibrated EQ curve.

You can also use the studio simulation section to adjust the width of the stereo image and add some ambiance.

Once you've set it up, ARC ON•EAR becomes entirely self-contained. You can close the software and use it as your main output device for almost everything, including your DAW, streaming platforms, or even a live mixer via the analog input.
