WHAT IS ANTHEM ROOM CORRECTION AND WHY IS IT THE BEST ON THE MARKET?
Even when the finest speakers are perfectly positioned, the room itself can have a dramatic negative impact on sound quality. Room dimensions, dead spots, archways, even furniture can turn a room into an additional instrument adding unwanted coloration and resonance to music and movies.
ARC adjusts for the room’s effect on the speakers in a way that mimics our hearing. Now your Anthem gear and your Paradigm speakers can do what they do best: allow you to lose yourself in the music or movie you’re watching. How does ARC do what it does?
- ARC analyzes each speaker’s in-room response then sets output levels, crossover frequencies and room correction parameters for each one.
- ARC applies correction for up to 7 channels plus the sub!
- ARC applies Super-Efficient Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters in addition to Anthem’s custom topology … all that means no ‘engine’ noise, this baby runs quickly and quietly.
- Unlike other room correction systems, ARC allows for multiple microphone measurements, that way everyone in the room gets a better listen, not just those sitting directly between the speakers.
- Processing power to spare!
- ARCuracy! The connected PC’s 64-bit floating point processor calculates the correction curves to the n’th degree of accuracy.
- Separate configurations for music and movies.
- Applies correction to peaks and dips in room response – since rooms have both we get a far more natural and accurate response tackling both!
- Fully automated or manual setup – you choose which procedure you want to use!
