SoundID Reference for Multichannel Upgrade from SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones Free Download

The software guides you through measuring studio speakers with an individually calibrated SoundID Reference measurement microphone. The microphone comes with multi-angle calibration curves, which Sonarworks uses to improve measurement accuracy.

Once measured, you can run the SoundID Reference plugin in your preferred DAW or export the calibration profile to supported hardware. Phase-based time alignment is applied to satellite and LFE channels to keep the soundstage coherent across the array.

The measurement process requires an audio interface with +48V phantom power, and the same interface must be used for input and output. The hardware setup should consist of a single external device, though additional preamp units are supported.

You can correct your system to a flat frequency response, to the Dolby Atmos Music curve, or to a custom profile. Custom targets can be adjusted manually and the calibration range can be limited for the whole setup or for separate channel groups.

Calibration profiles can be applied through the plugin or exported to supported hardware, including Avid MTRX with SPQ DSP, Avid MTRX Studio, DAD AX32 with SPQ DSP, the Dolby Atmos Renderer Mastering Suite and Jones-Scanlon Studio Monitors.
