SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones by Sonarworks helps you make mixing decisions with a more neutral monitoring setup. It calibrates your speakers and studio headphones to reduce frequency-response coloration, making it easier to judge tonal balance and create mixes that translate across different playback systems. For headphone listening, choose from more than 500 calibration profiles designed to deliver a flat reference response that emulates neutral speakers. Speaker calibration uses a measurement microphone to assess your setup, with the measurement process taking around 15 minutes. It complements acoustic treatment rather than replacing it. Ideal for home studio producers, mobile music makers, and collaborators working in different spaces, SoundID Reference provides a more consistent listening reference when switching between speakers, headphones, and rooms—so you can spend less time second-guessing your mix.
