Achieve ultra-accurate monitoring — effortlessly
Calibrating your studio monitors with SoundID Reference 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). And since it comes with more than 280 ready-to-use headphone calibration profiles, tailoring the software to your headphones is even easier.
