Mobile's queues for microphone connection instructions.
• When taking ARC measurements the microphone should be at
locations approximately where your ears will be.
• If using an external microphone when taking ARC measure-
ments, the microphone should point up, towards the ceiling.
• If using a mobile devices built-in microphone, the microphone
should point in the direction of the device being measured.
• When taking ARC measurements the room should be silent.
Please turn off or remove potential sources of noise.
• If using a mobile devices built-in microphone, it is recommend-
ed that you remove the mobile device from its case, as a case
may interfere with measurement accuracy.
• ARC Mobile will require you to measure five listening positions.
The first position should be located at the primary listening
position. Subsequent measurements should be taken at other
listening positions and should never be closer than 2-feet from
one another.
• Although it might seem logical to do so, you do not need to take
measurements throughout the room (i.e. in the front corners, far
off to the side, etc.). Measurement locations should focus only on
positions where people will be listening to the subwoofer.
ARC Connection (Computer)
To run ARC on a computer you will need an ARC compat-
ible microphone (available from your MartinLogan dealer). Visit
AnthemAV.com/ARC for details.
NOTE: If you own a MartinLogan PBK (Perfect Bass Kit) or Anthem
ARC kit, the microphone included with either kit will work with the
ARC computer software used to measure your subwoofer(s).
Before running ARC on a computer, connect your subwoofer to
the computer. Use a USB cable to connect the subwoofer's USB
Input (Micro-B USB) to a USB (Type A)-input on your computer.
Depending on the version of your ARC kit (sold separately) you
may need an additional USB (Type A) to Micro-B USB cable or a
Mini-B USB (Female) to Micro-B USB (Male) adapter.
Before running ARC on a computer, Connect the ARC microphone
to your computer using a Mini-B USB to USB (Type A) cable.
Running ARC (Computer)
To run ARC on a computer you will need to download the lat-
est ARC software from AnthemAV.com/ARC. You will also need
an ARC compatible microphone (available from your MartinLogan
dealer).
When running ARC software we recommend Automatic/Wizard
Mode for most users. This mode will walk you through the mea-
surement process with step-by-step on screen instructions. The ARC
software's Manual Mode is recommend for advanced users. For
more information, please visit AnthemAV.com/ARC.
• Before running ARC, set up your subwoofers by adjusting
placement.
• During measurement ARC overrides the settings of the Volume
(level), Phase, Low-Pass Filter, and 20–30Hz Level controls.
These controls do not effect measurements. After the correction
curve has been uploaded to the speaker these controls can be
used to fine tune the subwoofer's performance.
• When taking ARC measurements the microphone should be
approximately at the locations where your ears will be.
• When taking ARC measurements, the microphone should point
up, towards the ceiling.
• When taking ARC measurements the room should be silent.
Please turn off or remove potential sources of noise.
• ARC will require you to measure five (or more) listening posi-
tions. The first position should be located at the primary
listening position. Subsequent measurements should be taken at
other listening positions and should be no closer than 2-fee to
each other.
• Although it might seem logical to do so, you do not need to take
measurements throughout the room (i.e. in the front corners, far
