01Overview

The add-on brings SoundID Reference calibration into supported Apollo X Gen 1 and Gen 2 interfaces, so correction runs on the hardware itself. It covers speaker layouts from stereo up to 9.1.6 and headphone calibration for more than 500 headphone models. Multiple outputs can be calibrated at once: one speaker profile and up to two headphone profiles, depending on the Apollo X model. The add-on is sold as a license key that can be activated on three devices.
