Delivers Mixes That Translate Everywhere

At Sweetwater, we often say, "If you can't hear it, you can't mix it." This conundrum certainly doesn't apply to Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Multichannel, an intelligent software that calibrates speaker setups up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos to ensure consistent, accurate monitoring in an endless array of production environments. It also offers ready-to-use calibration for more than 400 models of headphones. SoundID Reference for Multichannel works by applying a calibration profile to your monitoring output, supplying you with a ruler-flat response across all audible frequencies. The software is a breeze to use — most users find that they can complete the calibration process in less than 20 minutes. SoundID Reference for Multichannel permits you to make custom, on-the-fly curve adjustments, and you can save as many profiles as you'd like, which makes moving between different speakers, headphones, and rooms seamless and effortless. You also get phase alignment calibration and calibration profile export for supported hardware. Think of SoundID Reference for Multichannel as insurance for mix translation. With it in your toolkit, you can be confident that your stereo, surround, and Dolby Atmos mixes will sound as good as gold everywhere.

Achieve ultra-accurate monitoring — effortlessly

Calibrating your studio monitors with SoundID Reference for 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 for Multichannel's calibration profiles create 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.
