4.1 USING ARC WITH AN MDA
In addition to correcting the acoustic response of subs
and speakers in each zone, ARC also:
• Adjusts the left/right balance of the speakers.
• Sets the crossover point between the speakers and sub-
woofer (do not manually change this after running ARC).
• Adjust the subwoofer’s level relative to the speakers.
• Sets the phase and polarity of the subwoofer relative to
the speakers (requires the additional step of running the
Automatic Phase Adjustment tool after uploading correc-
tions to the MDA).
Before using Anthem Room Correction:
• Name the MDA.
• Set up and name the zones.
• Enable subwoofers (if applicable).
To use Anthem Room Correction:
1. Download and install the program from AnthemARC.com.
2. Start the program and select Launch ARC from the rst screen.
3. Select the MDA from the device discovery screen.
4. Select the zone you wish to measure from the drop-
down list.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to measure the zone,
calculate correction curves, and upload them to the MDA.
6. After uploading the corrections, run the Automatic Phase
Adjustment tool from the Review Summary & Upload
screen. This tool sets the phase of a subwoofer to opti-
mize its integration with the speakers.
