IK Multimedia ARC ON-EAR

Take the guesswork out of headphone mixing with the IK Multimedia Arc On-Ear portable headphone DAC. This portable device takes your headphone's unique frequency footprint and augments it to match your preferred studio monitor's sonic signature, all while expanding the acoustic space. This leads to less ear fatigue and, crucially, better mixes. Perfect for your laptop, this battery powered device gives you the freedom to mix outside of the studio, while ensuring accurate signal translation. Powered by a 32-bit ESS SABRE converter, with a high-damping-factor, ultra-low-distortion power amplifier, and a digitally controlled analog volume stage, the Arc On-Ear from IK Multimedia delivers a truly audiophile and studio-grade listening experience.
