Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones Calibration Software
SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones is the complete monitoring calibration solution. Beyond headphone calibration, it measures and corrects your studio monitors and room acoustics (measurement microphone required). Eliminate room modes and coloration to achieve a flat, accurate, and trustworthy reference sound in any studio environment.
SoundID Reference Highlights:
- Speaker Calibration: Uses a measurement microphone (sold separately or bring your own) to analyze room acoustics and generate a calibration curve, eliminating frequency irregularities for true speaker performance.
- 500+ Headphone Profiles: Includes full headphone functionality with over 500 built-in profiles, allowing you to switch between flat speaker and headphone monitoring instantly.
- Translation Check: Simulate the sound of car stereos, smartphones, TVs, laptops, or classic studio monitors to ensure your mix translates well across all devices.
- Custom Target: Adjust the target frequency curve in real-time to tweak low-end response or high-frequency roll-off to match your personal listening preferences.
