Subwoofer – ARC
™
measures, calculates and corrects for the room’s standing waves.
The process starts when a test signal
is sent from the Anthem
®
processor to
each connected speaker and the
signal is picked up by the individually
calibrated microphone. The system
puts each speaker though a full
frequency sweep to highlight problem
areas and determine the necessary
adjustments. Configurations are saved
on a connected PC, allowing the user
to optimize the system for multiple
configurations for music and movies.
The optimized solutions are then
uploaded to the processor and all
levels, crossovers and room corrections
are put in place. ARC
™
can then be
turned on and off by source as well.
Truly an audiophile solution to the
problem of “the room”!
How does ARC
™
work?
“... Room Correction makes the best A/V processor available even better.”
– Daniel Kumin, Sound & Vision
“I was totally amazed by how much of an improvement the ARC made ... the difference was huge.”
– Ken Taraszka, AudioVideo Revolution
“No exaggeration ... the ARC demo may have been THE BEST multi-channel demo I’ve ever
heard at a trade show.”
– Residential Systems Magazine
“Taking measurements is the easy part. Knowing what to do with those
measurements (and having the processing power to do it!) is what
sets the ARC
™
system apart from other ‘Room EQ’ systems.”
