Key Features
Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers and Headphones with Mic helps you mix, monitor, and master with precision. Calibrate your existing studio speakers with the included measurement microphone, and calibrate your headphones with over 500 profiles for a wide range of supported models. You'll be setup in less than 20 minutes with a flat frequency response across all audible frequencies.
Translate your mix across multiple speakers. All without leaving your workstation. Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers and Headphones simulates a wide range of devices to choose from. Whether you want to check how your mix sounds in the car, in a world-class studio, or anywhere in between, all you have to do is press a button.
The definition of versatility. With SoundID reference, you've got access to multiple filter modes, additional DSP processing controls, and MIDI mapping. Quickly swap between speakers, headphones, and room. What's more, the custom target feature lets you adjust the target curve in real time, so you can enjoy consistent sound wherever you go.
Product Ref: 176499
SoundID Reference ensures your mixes sound the same, regardless of the gear you're using. It calibrates over 500 headphone models and a wide range of speaker configurations, including stereo, 5.1 and up to full 9.1.6 Atmos setups. This gives you the flexibility to work confidently in different environments, knowing your reference sound remains stable. This helps you make mixing decisions based on sound, not guesswork, and means fewer surprises when your track is played elsewhere.
The built-in translation check and Virtual Monitoring features let you simulate playback on everyday devices. This includes cars, laptops, smartphones, TVs and hi-fi systems. These simulations are built on calibrated speaker profiles, so you’re hearing an accurate picture of how your mix will translate outside the studio. It removes the need for bouncing down mixes and testing them across different environments, which saves hours of trial and error. By catching balance issues or tonal imbalances early, you can produce music that connects across all systems.
You’re not locked into a single monitoring profile. SoundID Reference lets you manually shape your target curve and define which frequency range calibration applies to. This is particularly useful for engineers who need to tailor their listening environment to different genres, projects or personal preferences. You can select a completely flat target, build your own presets or choose something tailored like a Dolby Atmos music curve. It helps bridge the gap between objective calibration and creative workflow, without compromising reliability.
Different filter processing modes adapt SoundID Reference to your workflow. Zero-latency mode is perfect for tracking and recording, where responsiveness is essential. The mixed mode offers a good balance for general use, and linear phase mode ensures transparent playback for detailed mixing or mastering. Each option is designed to keep your system responsive and accurate, so you can switch between tasks without changing tools. These flexible modes let you maintain a clean and dependable reference sound through all stages of music creation, from idea to final master.
The Sonarworks Calibrated Measurement Microphone lets you hear your speakers with unparalleled precision. Get an accurate acoustic image from a pre-polarised electret-condenser capsule, and treat your room with ease. From mixing to mastering, you'll hear every single detail.
No colouration. No inaccuracies. The Sonarworks Measurement Microphone delivers superior audio capture across a flat, extended frequency response. Its unobtrusive housing design prevents disturbances in your sound field, so you won't get a spike in the measured pressure level.
Ready to go - as soon as you open the box. The measurement mic has been tested by Sonarworks acousticians to eliminate sample-to-sample irregularities. Files for 0-degrees and 30-degrees calibration are included.
