Do I need ARC Studio hardware to use ARC X?
No. ARC X works in software and integrates with ARC Studio hardware for zero-latency correction.
Does ARC X add latency?
In plug-in mode, latency depends on phase settings. With ARC hardware, correction can be virtually latency-free.
Can I measure non-IK monitors?
Yes. ARC X works with both IK and third-party monitors.
Can I tweak the correction curve?
Yes. You can adjust target curve, frequency ranges, smoothing, and phase response.
Is the included mic accurate?
Yes. The MEMS microphone is factory calibrated for reliable measurement.
