Headphone mixers rejoice as it also applies to you, being able to pull preset profiles off a database of more than 480 models.

With calibration of studio headphones, consistent reproduction between your headphones and speaker setup is achievable.

Supported in the new Multichannel variant is an AVID and DAD DSP no-latency operation, up to 192 kHz sample rates, compatibility with Dolby Atmos Mastering Suite, phase alignment of individual channels, and speaker setups from 2.0 to 9.1.6.

The standalone app is still just Stereo.

Read our full review of the Sonarworks SoundID Reference here. The process remains largely the same for existing users, but for new users, you can get a glimpse there.

“Sonarworks latest offering, SoundID Reference, sees the industry leaders in reference software up the ante yet again, this time by way of integrating several features found in the brand’s personalised listening products and combining them with the unrivalled feature set of the industry-leading Reference series, achieving the most powerful Reference suite yet (and also bringing the gap between perfectly calibrated, acoustically treated studio space and budget headphone monitoring into as close a proximity as they have ever been).

“Using SoundID Reference by Sonarworks will give any audio setup a leg up in terms of clarity and translation. The combination of rock solid room calibration, speaker/headphone emulation and flattening of the acoustic issues associated with on-ear and over-ear headphones is one of the quickest and simplest ways to level out the playing field, and for that, there is simply no better product on the market than Sonarworks and the the latest incarnation of SoundID Reference. It’s simply one of the defining studio technologies of the current era.”
