  One thing, I recommend using good headphones for this and I repeatedly confuse ARC X and ARC Studio in this video because I am stupid - please disregard that but what do you think?<br>My take aways are that the IK ARC System is awesome, the Sennheisers are brilliant and Gravity are legends.<br><br>Here&apos;s some affiliate links to the stuff I used here:<br>Thomann/EU: <a href="https://www.thomann.de/de/thlpg_hrrjub3vhw.html">https://www.thomann.de/de/thlpg_hrrjub3vhw.html</a><br><br>Sweetwater/North America:<br>IK ARC Studio <a href="https://sweetwater.sjv.io/N9dxqP">https://sweetwater.sjv.io/N9dxqP</a><br>IK ARC X <a href="https://sweetwater.sjv.io/dOXWz3">https://sweetwater.sjv.io/dOXWz3</a><br>Sennheiser MKH 8020 <a href="https://sweetwater.sjv.io/YR5AaK">https://sweetwater.sjv.io/YR5AaK</a>

  John, your speaker comparisons surpasses MOST on youtube. No exaggeration. Thank you for all the work so far.<br><br>I know it&apos;s out of topic. But Would you PLEASE compare the V30 to Eminence Private Jack Red Coat? It is more like a Green Back based speaker but to my ears it sounds closer to the V30 than the Governor.

  So this takes a room measurement, then kind of EQs the signal going to the monitors to enhance the sound from the monitors ? &nbsp;damn &nbsp;pretty cool. you can hear the difference..nice

  I love the ARC X... &nbsp;there&apos;s also several manual EQ tweaks in the software you can apply to try smoothing out that dip at 240hz. &nbsp;Also, I found it&apos;s worth the time to measure using the most accurate settings with 21 measurements (7 at 3 levels). &nbsp;Entertaining as always.

  Tried a previous version of this kit: good results, but found the main issue I had (horrific room resonance due to its small almost cubic dimensions) remained, so I returned it and bought an expensive bass resonance trap (a large barrel-like thing you stick in one corner). Which didn&apos;t work. Conclusion: move house.

  Very interesting - I believe you can do the same kind of thing with REW but it takes more work. &nbsp; It&apos;s cool to see how far the software has come over these last 8+ years on room leveling. &nbsp;As always the real trick is how the mix plays on other sources, but having the levels more centered for the mix is realy cool. &nbsp;Could be a huge time saver.

  And thats where eqalizer got its name. Not to color the sound but to make each frequency response equal to the listener.
