Software ONLY upg. from ver 3>4 will be possible when logged into your account, its 100€,..Why is there is no upgrade path from ARC 3 to ARC 4 for existing users?
This is very anti-customer.
BUT!!! upg. from 3 to HARDWARE-version 4 ,. only if ver 3 was once bundeled with a mic from IK
In my case , having the ARC from IK ,.. and the mic from a shop ,.. means being dead-ended
I did try, now, to register my mic as hardware, both on web, and product manager, no luck !
No eglible S/N printed on the label on the mic, and no registration card in the box
Thus I am not even able to register the mic that I bought in a normal shop, (in France)
(And my impression its needed having bought a product, bundeled with mic, dir. from IK)
So people who have used ARC, and a third party mic, is left out obviously, from upgrading to
the new hadware-version 4, witch is not OK, but even more absurd, that me, having both
ARC 3 and original MEM mic, is left out, just for the fact that the mic was bought in a shop
And like said, anyway the price is only reduced from 300 to 250 euro, a level thats not realy
honnoring the engagement and trust from old customers, should have been from 300 to 200
in all fairness.
And then a path also is missing from no-mic, sorfware-only, ARC 3, into new ver 4 hardware,
in this case 300-250 would be OK ,.. why not honnor previous software a bit, just becourse
new hardware is being added as a part of the family and concept ?
