ARC System 2
this microphone into a valuable tool that will be useful to you even
after you have calibrated the room. Plus, this microphone is omnidirec-
tional, making the proximity effect found in conventionally studio-used
cardioid microphones disappear. This is important for home and project
entry-level studios since omnidirectional microphones are commonly
not a part of the setup.
Does ARC 2 work with surround monitoring systems?
Not at the moment. A multi-channel version of ARC System 2 is develop-
ment and will be available in the future.
