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. SoundID Reference’s calibration profiles create a target frequency response that’s flat across all audible frequencies. This calibration software also allows you to make custom, real-time adjustments to the target curve for profiles that are tailored to your individual application. And since you can save as many profiles as you’d like, switching between different speakers, headphones, and rooms is 100% seamless.

On a practical level, this upgrade builds on your existing Sound ID Reference for Headphones license, so you don’t have to purchase a full new software package. The calibration process is straightforward: by using a microphone to measure your room’s acoustics, the software generates a custom correction profile tailored to your exact environment. This profile compensates for room reflections, speaker inconsistencies, and headphone frequency response variations. The result is a cohesive soundstage with balanced frequency response, making it easier to detect flaws, balance mixes, and achieve professional-grade results.
Ideal for studio engineers, producers, and serious audiophiles, this software upgrade is especially valuable for those who split their workflow between headphones and speakers. Instead of having separate calibration tools or profiles, you now enjoy a unified system that ensures consistency regardless of your monitoring choice.
