SoundID Reference for Multichannel and Apollo Monitor Correction Add-on bundle (download only)

Achieve ultra-accurate monitoring — effortlessly

Calibrating your studio monitors with SoundID Reference Multichannel is a piece of cake. Just connect a measurement microphone to your audio interface, fire up the software, and you're good to go (microphone sold separately). It comes with more than 400 ready-to-use headphone calibration profiles, so tailoring the software to your headphones is even easier. SoundID Reference Multichannel's calibration profiles creates a target frequency response that's flat across all audible frequencies. This calibration software also allows you to make custom, real-time adjustments to the target curve for profiles that are tailored to your individual application. And since you can save as many profiles as you'd like, switching between different speakers, headphones, and rooms is 100% seamless.

Overflowing with pro-level features

Sonarworks SoundID Reference Multichannel is packed with an astounding number of pro-requested features. For starters, the software includes both a multichannel DAW plug-in and a stereo standalone desktop application. You get three filter modes: zero latency, mixed, and linear phase, along with extra DSP processing controls, including mono, dry/wet, and safe headroom. The SoundID Reference application includes MIDI mapping for various parameters, as well as user presets for switching between predefined output devices/channel pair combinations. Phase alignment of channels for accurate time delay calibration and calibration profile export for supported hardware, including Avid's MTRX with DPQ DSP and MTRX Studio, DAD's AX32 with SPQ DSP, the Dolby Atmos Renderer Mastering Suite, and Jones-Scanlon studio monitors is also included.
