From Our Research Team:

The Sound of Your Studio, Anywhere!

Mixing in a perfect environment simply isn't an option for everyone. Even if you have excellent, high-quality studio monitors, chances are you don't have the liberty to crank up your latest mix at 3:00 AM, just when you've put the final touches on that last track. That's what's so cool about the Focusrite VRM Box. Designed to integrate with your favorite DAW, the VRM Box uses Focusrite's award-winning VRM (virtual reference monitoring) to simulate a traditional monitoring environment, right in your headphones. Now, instead of the tightly focused and exaggerated stereo separation you get from headphones, you get the sound of a traditional listening environment, complete with pro-quality studio monitors.





Because the VRM Box can act either as the primary output of your DAW or inline with the S/PDIF output of your audio interface, you can use it with any DAW, even Pro Tools HD. The VRM Box hardware itself boasts a 108dB dynamic range, far outstripping conventional computer headphone outputs. What's more, the VRM Box supports up to 24-bit/192kHz digital audio, so it's compatible with even the most demanding applications. Although monitoring with real studio monitors will always be ideal, a Focusrite VRM Box will make your next best option a whole lot better.

Focusrite VRM Box Virtual Reference Monitoring Interface Features at a Glance:
  • Onboard VRM (Virtual Reference Monitoring) lets you hear the sound of your mix being played over a pair of professional studio monitors in a controlled environment - right in your headphones
  • Supports sample rates up to 24-bit/192kHz via USB or S/PDIF input
  • 108dB dynamic range
  • USB 2.0 for connectivity and bus power
  • Stereo S/PDIF input on RCA
  • Stereo Headphone output on 1/4" TRS
  • Analogue headphone output level control
  • Supports Windows (XP with service pack 3, Vista, and 7) and Intel Mac OS X 10.5 and OS X 10.6
  • Dimensions: 2.7" x 1" x 2.7"
  • Weight: 4.33 oz.

Take the sound of your studio anywhere, with a Focusrite VRM Box virtual reference monitoring interface!

Amazing gadget! Total Life Saver!!

It's amazing how far we've come with technology. I currently live in an area that made it literally impossible for me to mix on my KRK 8's. I was getting noise complaints from neighbors even if I ha... read more [+]d all of my levels at their minimum, and even when I was able to use them, I wasn't getting accurate readings due to the reflections in the room.

I started researching this box over a year ago , and I must say I was VERY VERY skeptical, because of it's price. I looked online and saw a lot of mixed reviews, so I took a leap of faith...and I could not be happier!! Out of all the thousands of dollars i've spent on equipment, this has been my best investment by far! My mixes sound amazing, and are now translating on everything I play them through, and clients are asking whose doing my mixing now. So grab a good pair of reference monitor headphones,purchase the VRM Box, and hear what you've been missing in your mixes!! close [-]

So I don't have a properly treated environment and since I got the VRM Box my mixes are so much better. I'm a teacher, music producer and I work on music for television and when I produce mixes now t... read more [+]hey just translate. My mastering engineer recognized how much depth my mixes got! For the price it's a steal of a deal! You should buy 1 now and a good pair of headphones like the KRKs close [-]

Great tool

Not having a good studio for monitoring my mixes, I would mix in headphones, burn a copy, listen then repeat several times. NO MORE!!!

The VRM box simulates 3 different room conditions and most of the popular speaker systems form the last 30 years or so. When you mix sounds good on any of those speakers and room environments then you can be assured that your mix will sound just like you intended it to. close [-]

I bought this unit about a month ago. I use it in conjunction with my m-audio profire 2626. I've used it with Fostex T20/T40 and after I get my new pair of KRK KNS 8400 today i will test it with thos... read more [+]e as well. I have a small project studio running Cubase 6 and my mastering engineer immediately noted how much more depth and clarity my mixes now had. I love the Genelec and KRK VXT8 models to mix with but of course I utilize all the models. Bottom line the mixes translate. I work for a children's TV program, I work on ads and produce primarily Christian music. This bad boy takes on everything and i love the results. I even use the living room setting to play FiFA 2012 in the wee hours of the morning (I love it) If they had a facebook page for this device I would be the first to like it. i recommend this to all of my producer friends who don't have proper room treatment. It helps you make the right decision from the time you choose a patch for production....simply put I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! close [-]

Proved Its Worth In Two Tries!

Bought it and listened to my fisrt mix. Wow, did my mix suck according to this! So, not believing it, I downloaded an un-mixed multitrack recording from my favorite recording site. It, too, was horri... read more [+]ble! THEN, I downloaded the finished mix and ran it through: It was virtually the same on all references except the wide-screen TV and general computer speaker simulations, but was still decent (which makes sense, huh?!). Great reference tool! Totally trustworthy! Actually, I'm just blown away :) close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
