Specifications

The ARC-10 console is designed specifically for On air broadcast, Internet radio, and
Podcast applications. The two mic channels support a host and guest talk format. The
phone channel is perfect for a live on air talk segment or Off-line contests. The optional PC
sound card channel with logic provides easy access to PC audio files for play or recording.
Last, the 6 stereo line channels (optionally balanced Pro or unbalanced Consumer) easily
handles the number of other audio sources (such as CDs, DATS, MDs, MP3s, etc) found in
the average modern studio. The Program bus has both a balanced +4dBu output and an
unbalanced (-)10dBu output plus a mono mixdown of the stereo signal. The ARC-10 is a pow-
erful, flexible, reliable, and low cost solution for your radio studio needs.
Easy to install
Fully connectorized with XLRs, RCA phono jacks, RJ45s, etc., the ARC-10 is easy to install
with off the shelf cables. With the ARC-10U & ARC-10UP models there are NO custom pinned
audio cables to miswire.
Rugged and reliable
Professional throughout, with multi-million operation LED lighted switches and electronic
audio switching, the ARC-10 is ideal for demanding environments.
Unbalanced or Balanced
Choose between balanced (Pro) and unbalanced (Consumer) stereo line level models to
perfectly match your studio application.
Two mic channels for Host and Guest in the Control room
Channels One & Two are very high quality mic preamps (with optional 48V phantom power)
for talk applications in the control room itself.
Telephone Channel for Live On Air Talk or Off-line Contests
Channel ten is a dedicated telephone channel that easily connects to an external telephone
hybrid. The caller can talk to you through the Cue system while a Talkback button enables
the Control Room mic to talk off-line to the caller. Just select the Air or Recording bus
then turn the channel on. What could be easier?
Optional built-in PC sound card on Channel 9 for Play & Record
Two ARC-10 models contain a built-in, Windows compatible, USB sound card on Channel
Nine for USB connection to a PC. A serial (or USB with adapter) connection between the
console and PC provides a control logic interface for starting and stopping playback on the
PC. Arrakis Digilink-Xtreme software will recognize the ARC-10 console and operate in the
‘free’ ARC-10 mode to provide’Live On Air’ features that are ideal for broadcast, internet,
or podcast style radio applications. For the ultimate in Automation, Digilink-Xtreme soft-
ware (optional) provides complete hard disk based automation features for the ARC-10.
