Even when the finest speakers are perfectly positioned,
the room itself still has a dramatic impact on any
system's sound, an impact more profound than that
of any individual component. Various solutions have
fallen in and out of favor over the years, but none has
solved the problem of "the room." Until ARC.
Using proprietary processes and the power of your
PC, the ARC system analyzes each speaker's in-
room sound, then computes the required correction
to yield optimal performance from every speaker.
It's a process that takes approximately 5 minutes.
Anthem's approach is a true audiophile solution to
the problems of the room.
IMPORTANT! The listening space must be silent while
performing ARC. A noisy computer fan, a dishwasher
or microwave running, etc. can negatively affect
ARC's measurements.
How to Use ARC Technology:
1. Ensure that your wireless product is already
connected to your home network and is
powered on.
2. Download the latest Window's version of ARC-2
software from www.anthemav.com or "Anthem

ARC Mobile" from the iTunes App Store and
install it. Follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Window's only: Using the USB cable, connect
the ARC microphone to a Windows PC. The
USB cable and ARC microphone are provided
with your soundbar.
4. Look for the icon and launch the ARC
program. Follow the prompts on your screen to
successfully run the ARC™ software; the entire
process should take approximately 5 minutes.
5. Hold the ARC microphone with your arm fully
extended, the ARC microphone tip must point towards
the ceiling and it must be positioned at ear level.
6. For best results, hold the microphone in 5
positions around the room.
TIP! Once the ARC process is complete, the
corrected listening curves will be stored and music
will be played back reflecting these corrections.
To turn ARC correction on and off, press and hold
the mute button for 5 seconds. A 'negative tone'
will sound to verify ARC is switched off. A 'positive
tone' will sound to verify ARC is switched on.
