Manufacturer's Description

Yorkville YSM Series II YSM8-2 8-Inch Powered Studio Monitor

The YSM8-2 features 1-inch black-silk diaphragm neodymium dome tweeters. These tweeters blend seamlessly into the specially designed low-diffraction waveguide which is integrated into the front baffle. The edges of the wave-guide perfectly couple the tweeter with the woofer, reducing sonic anomalies normally associated with driver/tweeter proximity. The fibre-reinforced composite cone woofers have also been designed to perform with sonic excellence, providing a wide dynamic range at all levels. Integrated DSP is utilized to deliver transparent signal processing and bi-amplification has been optimized for each driver. The woofer and tweeter have been perfectly time aligned to eliminate any phase irregularities usually associated with 2-way designs.

  • Balanced XLR and 1/4- inch TRS inputs
  • Unbalanced RCA input

IK Multimedia ARC Studio Advanced Room Correction Microphone System for Monitor Speakers

High-definition monitoring for all…

There’s a reason all today’s highest-end studio monitors are adding active room correction – it supercharges their performance and ensures mixes translate flawlessly.

ARC Studio offers this same massive boost in performance and accuracy to every monitor in every studio.

Overview

  • Measurement mic, room analysis software and correction processor all in one
  • Dramatically improves your mixing accuracy with any monitors in any room
  • Installs in minutes in any studio
  • Sonically invisible, audiophile performance
  • Emulates top monitors and playback systems

Dramatically improve your mixing accuracy

Your room has a big impact on how you hear your music. The size, shape, materials, and furniture all work to distort the frequency and stereo balance of your monitors, degrading your sound.

ARC Studio analyzes and corrects these issues in minutes. Your music snaps into focus, with more controlled low-end, tighter transients and pinpoint stereo imaging. It’s like an instant upgrade to your monitors. And when you can trust what you hear, you’ll mix faster and more confidently than ever.

Installs in minutes

ARC Studio combines the new ARC 4 measurement software, room analysis microphone and stand-alone correction processor.

Plug the mic into your interface and you’ll be guided through measuring acoustical spots within your listening position. IK’s award-winning ARC technology uses this 3D snapshot to identify and completely correct all the problematic issues degrading your monitors’ performance.

This correction profile is loaded into the ARC Studio processor, sitting invisibly between your interface and monitors to apply to all incoming signals. Acoustic issues disappear, unleashing your monitors' true performance.

Correct every studio

For pro studios, whether in-the-box or console-based, ARC Studio allows for a sonically transparent correction and custom-tuning for any monitoring setup from nearfields to mains, preserving the inherent system’s sonic quality.

And for DAW-based studios, ARC Studio frees you from the hassle of inserting plug-ins on the master bus of your work and preserves zero-latency monitoring setups, plus allows you to listen to your preferred streaming service with acoustically corrected monitoring without messing around with system drivers.

You can create a profile for every configuration, listening position or even monitor pair. Whether you’re in a makeshift studio or a world-class one, fine-tuning your monitoring to your taste has never been easier and has never sounded so good.

Includes monitor emulations

ARC Studio also includes a monitor emulation function that turns your monitor system into iconic studio monitors and popular hi-fi speakers and mobile devices, with breathtakingly true-to-life results by accurately reproducing the frequency and phase response of the originals.

With over 20 profiles included, a single pair of monitors now lets you test your mix on different reference systems quickly, without ever having to head to your car!
