Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones and Apollo Monitor Correction Add-On Bundle - Electronic Delivery

Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones is speaker and headphone calibration software delivering consistently accurate studio reference sound. In less than 20 minutes you can calibrate your existing studio speakers with a measurement microphone (buy from us or use yours) and calibrate your existing headphones with more than 480 headphone calibration profiles already included in the software as ready-to-use presets. With an applied calibration profile the software sets the frequency response target to be completely flat across all audible frequencies so you can trust that every mix will translate. You can also now make custom adjustments to the target curve in real-time with the new custom target feature.

With accurate studio reference sound, you can seamlessly switch between speakers, headphones, and rooms. Finally, mix with confidence and make music that sounds great everywhere.
