Audient ORIA Immersive Audio Interface and Monitor Controller

State-of-the-art speaker processing

To work effectively with a multichannel speaker setup, you need a properly calibrated room. ORIA takes this into account, boasting onboard manual room calibration DSP with an 8-band EQ, speaker delay, trim, and bass management. Don’t want to calibrate your room manually? Thanks to ORIA’s tight integration with Sonarworks SoundID Reference, there’s no need. In fact, you can run Sonarworks profiles right from ORIA’s onboard DSP! On top of that, ORIA comes with a free 60-day trial of multichannel SoundID Reference to get you started, along with a SoundID Reference measurement microphone.

Advanced immersive audio monitor control

Here at Sweetwater, we’re big fans of the ORIA’s advanced monitor control features, which make taking command of any stereo, multichannel surround, or immersive environment a simple affair. This Dolby-approved interface integrates effortlessly with the Dolby Renderer, enabling you to take control of your downmix directly from the unit’s user interface. You can use profiles to toggle quickly between speakers, listening levels, and target curves. You’ll appreciate ORIA’s lightning-fast workflow, which includes color-coded speaker groups, individual and group speaker muting and soloing, a global volume control, cut and dim functions, and a global delay for post-production workflows. Beyond that, ORIA’s front-panel LCD makes keeping an eye on your metering a breeze.
