The next level in Sound Quality for your Mac The forum software has the necessary controls but I was too ignorant to make them work.Thank for your purchase of Audirvana Plus, the audiophile player that we hope will give you great musical moments with your Mac, giving you the Sound of Your Dreams. I tried to figure out how to post just thumbnails that would expand when clicked. ARC correction made a huge difference.īTW - I apologize for the large photos. The monitors are very nice, but they have rear ports which, firing into an enclosed bookshelf cave in my desk are a nightmare for accurate bass. The measurements are of HiVi X4 4" desktop active powered monitors through a Paradigm PW-Link. ARC V2 allowed you to modify results as well, but it was not clear to me what was being adjusted. The Pro Mode gives you options to modify your results (shown in the 2nd Jpg). The primary difference is that after measurement the Basic mode just lets you save, print to PDF, and upload the curves to the ARC device. The Basic/Pro modes seem very similar during measurement. Here are some screenshots from the just released Anthem ARC3 Genesis Windows. If money is not really an issue and if you want automatic full range equalization of both main speakers and subwoofers, plus automatic crossover optimization between subs and main speakers, plus a DAC and pre amplifier, there is the DSpeaker X4 that does all of this, and more. Installing it is truly child's play, and it does not cost an arm and a leg. If you are using subwoofers in your system an easy option would be the DSpeaker Antimode 8033 automatic dsp room eq unit for subwoofers. If you want to use more sources than just a computer, you will need somethng like the miniDSP to upload your correction curve to. If you are using a windows computer as your only source, you can upload that curve into the Equalizer Apo software, and all should be pretty well. If you are using full range speakers without subwoofers, measuring response and creating a correction curve with REW is a good way to proceed.

The need for equalization is greatest at frequencies below the Schroeder frequency (usually somewhere between 100-200 Hz, depending on room size).
