ARC ON·EAR – Studio-Grade Monitoring, Anywhere You Go

Short Product Summary (for Above-the-Fold section)

ARC ON·EAR transforms any pair of headphones into a trusted studio reference. With precision calibration, physical-modelled virtual monitoring, and an audiophile-grade DAC/amp, it delivers the accuracy of world-class monitors — right in your headphones. Mix, master, and produce with confidence wherever you are.

Why ARC ON·EAR Changes Everything

Traditional headphones — even high-end reference models — distort the truth. Their frequency response is never perfectly flat, their stereo field is exaggerated, and their tone colours your perspective. The result?
Inaccurate decisions, endless revisions, and mixes that simply don’t translate.

ARC ON·EAR solves this. Completely.
This standalone hardware system corrects your headphone response and recreates the sonic experience of mixing on real studio monitors — without plug-ins, without artificial reverbs, and without guesswork.

A Reliable, Accurate Reference — Every Time

Precision Calibration Built on Real Measurements

Every headphone model has a unique tonal fingerprint. ARC ON·EAR uses professionally measured calibration curves to correct these irregularities with surgical accuracy.
The result is transparent, consistent, and trustworthy monitoring on any supported headphone model.

Consistent Sound Across All Setups

Calibration profiles are created using the exact same amplifier circuit built into ARC ON·EAR, ensuring your sound remains consistent across sessions, locations, and headphones.

Real Studio Monitors — In Your Headphones

Unlike plug-ins that rely on impulse responses and artificial reverbs, ARC ON·EAR relies on advanced physical modelling — the same method used in high-end acoustic simulation.

You get:

• Natural width

• Zero artificial colouring

It’s the closest thing to sitting in a tuned control room — while using headphones.
