From Room Correction to Headphone Correction: The Logical Evolution of the ARC Range
With ARC On-Ear, IK Multimedia extends its calibration philosophy beyond speakers by bringing correction directly into the headphone chain. Whereas the classic approach often requires software correction within the session, this "on-ear" format aims for a more immediate and consistent reference, useful whenever you change projects, computers, or listening environments. The goal remains the same: to ensure reliable translation of your mixes, from the home studio to the control room, without relearning the sonic signature of each space.
A Trusted Tool for Mobile Mixing, Post-Production, and Silent Sessions
ARC On-Ear is designed for sound engineers, producers, beatmakers, and creators who alternate between speakers and headphones or need to work under constrained conditions. It becomes particularly relevant for late-night sessions, headphone editing and sound design, quality control, or making decisions about bass and low-mids in untreated rooms. By maintaining a stable stereo image and better-controlled frequency balance, you gain speed in equalization, compression, and element placement.

The announced technology is compatible with ARC Studio and SoundID Reference. The correction applied to the headphones aims to reduce their coloration and better define the frequency balance.
What connection does this headphone amplifier use?
The USB-C connection allows direct connection to a computer or an audio interface.
What audio resolution is available?
The audio conversion is specified as 24-bit / 96 kHz. This resolution is paired with a headphone stage designed to maintain low distortion at sustained levels.
Can it power high-impedance headphones?
The amplification offers an output power claimed to be suitable for high-impedance headphones. The frequency response covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with adjustable correction.
Is it suitable for headphone monitoring during tracking?
Ultra-low latency is planned for real-time monitoring. This model can thus be used during tracking, editing, or mixing in silent listening conditions. The stereo image and transients benefit from the integrated ARC correction.
