Sound ID Reference for Speakers & Headphones Upgrade from SoundID Reference Headphones

Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones upgrades your headphone-only setup with speaker calibration, helping you make mixing decisions on a more neutral monitoring system. It reduces unwanted frequency coloration in your listening setup, giving you a clearer basis for judging bass balance, vocal levels and tonal detail. For headphone listening, the software includes more than 500 calibration profiles designed to deliver a flat reference response that emulates neutral speakers.

This upgrade suits home producers and mixing musicians who want greater consistency when switching between headphones, studio monitors and different workspaces. A shared reference target can also make remote collaboration more useful by reducing differences in what each person hears. Speaker calibration requires a measurement microphone, with measurement taking around 15 minutes. Use it alongside acoustic treatment, not as a replacement, to help your mixes translate more reliably to everyday playback systems.
