The AR-ON-EAR delivers a realistic headphone mixing experience. The combination of its powerful amplifier, room and speaker simulation and the precise headphones EQ correction curve, makes my headphones sound significantly better.

For producers and engineers who often need to check, revise, or approve mixes on the go, this feels like having the studio with you wherever you are. It has truly created a home-away-from-home listening environment. Definitely a keeper.

ARC ON EAR sounds, feels, and looks amazing! It's IK Multimedia's little box of headphone sorcery

Nile Rodgers, Cat Stevens and many others acts, festivals, events

It's hard to find so many qualities packed into a single small device that is portable and can be used practically anywhere thanks to its internal battery. The dual analog (audio IN) and digital (USB-C connector) options make it a must-have for those who, like me, live off music while traveling the world. Plus, it sounds great too! What more could you want? Well done, IK!

Pinguini Tattici Nucleari, Måneskin, etc.

Finally, a solution for recreating the listening experience I have in the studio when traveling, with the Barefoot Micromain 27 paired with the Sony MDR-MV1 headphones.

I chose ARC ON·EAR because, in addition to being a very useful portable audio interface, its software allows for linear listening through headphones. I just connect my headphones, set the right parameters, and then in the studio I can make all the stereo comparisons with my speakers. When I'm on the road, having four presets means I can also mix with total freedom.

ARC ON·EAR: Finally, a convenient, efficient, and truly effective solution for working with headphones on the go. As always, Italians do it better!

Maurizio Nicotra
Studio and FOH Engineer

Claudio Baglioni, Renato Zero, Dire Straits Legacy, Carmen Consoli, Paola Turci, Irene Grandi, Jovanotti, etc.

ARC ON-EAR is an extremely valuable product. The option to narrow the stereo field with the Width control is very useful for achieving a remarkably realistic result, similar to that of a pair of real studio monitors. Another gem is the EQ for making further custom adjustments.

Mirko Cascio
Studio and FOH Engineer

Fabrizio Moro, Alex Britti, Daniele Silvestri, Paola Turci, Luciano Ligabue, Maldestro, etc.

I found ARC ON·EAR fantastic, both in terms of construction and audio performance. I created presets for various headphones and found them extremely useful.

Sandro "Amek" Ferrari

Negramaro, Nek, RAI, RTL, Radio Italia, etc.

The hardware and software are very impressive. Truly remarkable! And finally, the headphone amplifier/sound card that was missing has arrived! A real gem.

Fabrizio Bacherini
FOH and Monitor Engineer

Max Pezzali, Giorgia, Fiorello and many others

ARC ON-EAR is a pocket-sized device that has solved my listening problems. I always suspected that my headphones were a little bloated on the low end, and by activating the correction, I can clearly hear what's going on in the mix. I connect the headphone output of the mixer directly to ARC ON-EAR, and the dynamic response is identical to that of the mixer, even in terms of power. Really functional.

Giacomo Mandelli

Dire Straits Legacy, La Tana del Lupo, Cineteatro San Luigi

I tried ARC ON·EAR during the Dire Straits Legacy tour: I really like it, it's a real secret weapon in my backpack.

Whether it's checking a mix you've just finished, preparing social media content on the fly in a hotel, on the train, or in the car after a show, an electronic programming session for an album, or even just the pleasure of listening to a good album while lying on the sofa: Effective and transparent processing, generous amplification, low latency... if it made gin and tonics, it would be perfect.

Davide Linzi
Studio and FOH Engineer

Ultimo, Bresh, Ghali, Negrita, etc

After trying out various types of headphones, the correction guarantees excellent performance on all models tested, including my beloved Ollo headphones. Since I often have to mix live performances in hotel rooms or while traveling, having a sound and stereo image reference for many well-known speakers makes my job easier, especially when checking from my cell phone.

Massimo Barbieri
Studio and FOH Engineer

Mika, U. Tozzi, Mia Martini, Irene Grandi, XFactor, "Mediterraneo" soundtrack

When people used to ask me if I also mixed with headphones, I would usually reply, "I'd love to, but I can't mix with headphones." Now I finally can, thanks to ARC ON·EAR.
