Accuracy Begins with the Amplifier
The behavior of a headphone amplifier directly influences what is heard. Even high-end audio interfaces and mixers can modify a headphone’s frequency response – sometimes subtly, sometimes significantly – depending on the model and its output impedance.
ARC ON·EAR eliminates this variable. All calibration profiles are created using the exact same amplifier circuit found in the product, ensuring precise, reliable, and repeatable correction across all headphones and listening sessions.
Uncompromising Audio Quality
Powered by a 32-bit ESS SABRE® converter, a high-damping-factor, ultra-low-distortion power amplifier, and a digitally controlled analog volume stage, ARC ON·EAR delivers a truly audiophile-grade listening experience – with no compromises.
Virtual Monitoring that Goes Beyond
Instantly test mixes on a wide range of playback systems. With over 20 virtual studio monitors and more than 15 multimedia playback systems available at release, ARC ON·EAR enables users to precisely understand how a mix translates without ever taking off their headphones.
Effortless Control
The included and dedicated ARC ON·EAR control software lets users easily set up and fine-tune their listening experience. Once configured, the device operates completely standalone for up to 4 hours on a charge.
- Quick and easy device setup
- Fine-tune tonal balance to taste
- Save and load up to 5 presets
- Customisable Function button
- Manage firmware/software updates
The ARC On-Ear already supports over 200 headphone profiles, selectable via the included software:
Unlike plug-ins or impulse-based “virtual rooms,” ARC ON•EAR uses advanced physical modelling to recreate how real studio monitors behave in an ideal acoustic space.
No artificial reverbs. No timbral colouration. Just the natural depth, width, and clarity of a real control room — right in your headphones.
The ARC of Confidence
With continuous firmware updates, an expanding headphone database, and a growing collection of virtual monitors, ARC ON·EAR is a future-proof investment in mixing and enjoying sound. Whether producing on the go, mixing at night, or traveling the world, ARC ON·EAR offers the accuracy and confidence of a professional studio – everywhere.
