## What is Anthem ARC Mobile?

Anthem Room Correction (ARC™) is a proprietary digital signal processing system that allows you to quickly and accurately optimize the performance of your audio equipment to better suit the unique parameters of your room. By listening to your room’s acoustic signature, ARC can tune your equipment to correct for the performance-robbing effects (reflections, resonances, standing waves, etc.) of the various surfaces and other obstacles in your room. You’ll actually hear the difference ARC makes.

### 1/5 — Can’t Find MRX 1140

*2025-02-09*

Has this app been abandoned? I have a newer model MRX and the app can’t find it at all. Same network and everything. I can even connect to the MRX directly through safari using its local ip address, so they’re obviously on the same network. I’ll probably just go through my laptop i suppose.

### 1/5 — ARC on iPhone 16 & iOS 18

*2024-09-23, version 1.3.2*

The ARC will fail with “Critical Error”. 
As per Raman B (Tech Support Advisor) the Mobile version is not supported any more.

### 4/5 — Great room correction app

*2024-04-01, version 1.3.2*

After numerous attempts to calibrate and experiment with multiple device/mic set-ups, it is amazing and love the final set-up. Definitely smoothed out some annoying harsh frequency spikes in a small room.

### 1/5 — XR13 not supported

*2023-11-19, version 1.3.2*

I have a nee paradigm xr13 and its not even on the list of supported devices. Yet there is a plug and arc emblem on the back. Pc software doesnt find the sub either. Plug everything in try and turn on arc and it tells me i have o download this app, which doesnt support this sub. Junk

### 1/5 — Never completes

*2023-07-03*

Using my iphone, the correction completes the first process for position 1. Then gets an error every time stating excessive background noise. It’s absolutely silent in the room. Useless…

### 1/5 — App sees the receiver but won’t connect

*2023-05-24, version 1.3.2*

App starts fine, sees the receiver (AVM60, firmware 1.4.095) but never finishes to connect. iPhone 7, iOS 15.7.6

### 1/5 — Nothing

*2023-05-20, version 1.3.2*

Didn’t connect with my Denon AVR S760H or my Paradigm Defiance V10.

### 3/5 — Glitchy as F

*2023-05-07, version 1.3.2*

When it works it’s great. 
It just doesn’t always work without glitches. 
(Dirac has similar issues)

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work!

*2023-04-22*

App will not sync. I gave up after months of trying.  I know Im doing everything right in trying to connect.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-04-05*

App can’t even discover devices. Don’t get past first part which is discovery. Their pc app is a disaster as well. The only thing that works sometimes is logging into the browser page via the IP. Anyways I have an anthem that I can’t run ARC on smh.
