BEFORE STARTING
• Ensure that the AVM/MRX software and ARC-2 software that you will be using are
compatible with one another – check www.anthemAV.com for latest versions.
• Your ARC microphone and its support file are a system. Before a mic can be used
for measurement, its response must be known. Each ARC microphone’s frequency
response is measured precisely at the factory and this is used to create your
microphone’s calibration file.
• Your computer must be running Windows 7 or later and be connected to a local
network.
• If you are using a laptop computer, check its power settings and battery meter to
ensure that procedures will not be interrupted.
• The measurement process rejects typical background noise but if loud noise is
present ARC will indicate that re-measurement is required. Ensure that the room will
be sufficiently quiet during measurement.
• Depending on how your network is set up, you may need to enable sharing to allow
the AVM/MRX to be seen by your computer.
• If you are using more than one AVM/MRX on the network, note that each may be
identified three ways – by MAC address, IP address, or Device Name (for more
information see the System Information and Network setup menus).

ARC SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Instructions will appear on your computer’s screen once the ARC CD is read. If your
computer does not allow a CD to auto-run then double-click on the My Computer icon
that’s on Desktop, select the drive that the CD is in to view its contents (you may need to
right-click on its icon then select Explore), and double-click on setup.exe.
If you downloaded ARC from our web site it needs to be extracted before setup is run.
CUSTOM INSTALLERS: To set up multiple systems using one computer, copy
the serialized files from each ARC CD to this directory after ARC is installed (it
only needs to be installed once):
My Computer, Local Disk C:\Program Files\Anthem Room Correction 2
