installing an ARC system


I have had several different pre/pros over the years and non of them have had built in room correction. It's something that I would like to look in to. Can an ARC system be applied to a pre/pro without built in room correction software?

Good suggestion from Zd542.
Zd, he might be in a situation where he cannot correct his room - maybe "she who must be obeyed" wont let him?

I don't see why an ARC system cannot be applied to a pre/pro without room correction.
Do you have an ARC pre? Or, are you using the pre/pro as the pre for the ARC system?
If you are using an ARC pre - use the bypass or direct function on your pre/pro to simply feed the ARC pre signal to the ARC amp without the pre/pro altering the signal.
If you are using the pre/pro I bet that you can change the signal any way you want - boost the bass, extenuate the midrange, tone down the highs, etc, etc - before feeding it into the ARC amp.
FWIW.
disregard my comments - I was thinking ARC stood for Audio Research Corp. duh! sorry.
