ANTHEM ROOM CORRECTION IS THE MOST ADVANCED
ROOM CORRECTION SOFTWARE AVAILABLE TODAY.
Anthem Room Correction (ARC
®
) puts the sophistication and power
of an advanced audio lab in your hands so that you can achieve
perfect sound at home. Our PhDs did the hard work, so you don’t
need an engineering degree to use it. ARC is sophisticated enough
to produce real results that you can hear, easy enough to be used
by anyone, advanced enough to allow you to customize the settings,
and professional enough to give you the kind of results you’d expect
from software and hardware costing thousands of dollars.
WHY DOES YOUR SUBWOOFER NEED CORRECTION?
The most significant detriment to the sound of an audio system is
almost always the room it resides within—especially true in the realm
of bass. Even in a professionally treated sound room, bass can
quickly become boomy or anemic. Anthem Room Correction helps
audio systems sound their best in any space. ARC offers a robust
suite of tools to tame your wild sonic frontier, whether you have a
tricked-out home theater, a traditional living room with carpet and
thick drapes, or a modern floor plan with large open spaces and
acoustically reflective furniture and windows.
YOUR ROOM AFFECTS THE SOUND. Have you ever tested
the acoustics in an empty room by whistling or clapping? It brings
to mind how sound is affected by a room’s size, structure, and
contents. Even when using optimally positioned subwoofers, the
room negatively impacts sound quality considerably. Surfaces such
as windows and furnishings and the geometry of the walls, floor, and
ceiling add unwanted resonance and coloration, making the bass
either boomy or less punchy, voices less natural, and the dialogue
less intelligible. The effect on frequency response is typically ±6 dB
in the midrange and ±10 dB at low frequencies.
ARC TO THE RESCUE. To compensate for this and to optimize the
in-room response, Anthem Room Correction measures the output of
each subwoofer relative to the listening area then, through a series of
calculations, adjusts its output. Not only does
ARC correct peaks and dips in a subwoofer’s frequency response,
but it also preserves the beneficial acoustic attributes of a room—
attributes based on proven psychoacoustic science (the study of how
humans hear and experience sound).
ANTHEM ROOM CORRECTION IS AVAILABLE IN TWO
FLAVORS. ARC Mobile allows you to optimize your ARC enabled
subwoofer by using either the internal microphone of the iOS and
Android devices (for basic room correction) or an optional ARC
compatible calibrated microphone (for better results). Calibrated
microphones (sold separately), connect via the headphone jack
(iOS) or USB (Android).
While ARC Mobile provides astonishing improvements to your in-room
response, for the ultimate level or room correction, consider using
ARC Genesis and an ARC compatible calibrated microphones (sold
separately). ARC Genesis software for Mac and PC use the same
algorithms as the mobile app to calculate correction curves, but allows
more control over room correction settings.
