How does Anthem ARC room correction software work?

ARC is simple to use: load the ARC software, position the calibration microphone, run the program, then view and upload the results. ARC measures responses and automatically adjusts equipment performance to suit your space. An audio system’s performance is always negatively affected by a room’s unique characteristics. The size and shape of the room, its construction, the furnishings, and other factors cause standing waves, resonances, and reflections that can affect the sound played by loudspeakers. Using proprietary algorithms developed by Anthem engineers, ARC Genesis creates custom correction curves that retain the desired acoustic signature of speakers and remove negative room contributions. These custom filters are then used to program high-quality digital signal processing (DSP) technology embedded within compatible audio products.
