arc™ (anthem room correctIon)
Even when the finest speakers are perfectly positioned,
the room itself still has a dramatic impact on any
system’s sound, an impact more profound than that
of any individual component. Various solutions have
fallen in and out of favor over the years, but none has
solved the problem of “the room.” Until ARC.
Using proprietary processes and the power of your
PC, the ARC system analyzes each speaker’s in-
room sound, then computes the required correction
to yield optimal performance from every speaker.
It’s a process that takes approximately 15 minutes.
Anthem’s approach is a true audiophile solution to
the problems of the room.
IMPORTANT! The listening space must be silent. A noisy
computer fan, a dishwasher or microwave running,
etc. can negatively affect ARC’s measurements.
How to Use ARC Technology:
1. Ensure that your soundbar is already connected
to your home network and is powered on.
2. Download the latest version of ARC-2 software
from www.anthemav.com and install it. Follow
the on-screen instructions.
3. Using the USB cable, connect the ARC microphone
to a Windows PC. The USB cable and ARC
microphone are provided with your soundbar.
4. Look for the icon on your desktop and launch
the ARC program. Follow the prompts on
your computer screen to successfully run the
ARC™ software; the entire process should take
approximately 15 minutes.
