ARC System 2
5.2 Edit Window
Sometimes after ARC 2 has compensated for your speaker response by
evening out the anomalies in the room's response, the resulting “tone” or
“color” can be quite different from what you are used to. You can use the
controls in the Edit window (figure 5.15) to adjust it to your personal taste
by dragging the green break-points in the EQ curve for gentle tone-shaping
while still getting all the benefits of the ARC 2 correction.

This will not alter the correction ARC 2 has applied to your monitoring setup
(as you might think at first glance). It will instead allow for more tonal
options to suit your listening preferences.
5.2.1 EQ points
Drag these break-points on the X/Y axis to boost or cut at the desired fre-
quency (figure 5.16). Maximum range is +/-12dB. Double click on dots to
reset them to 0dB.
