SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring

SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring by Sonarworks lets you mix on headphones with confidence, simulating trusted studio monitors and everyday playback devices. It provides three speaker simulations—near, mid, and far-field—each calibrated to a flat reference, so you can hear your mix in accurate monitoring environments. Additionally, seven consumer device simulations (phone, laptop, TV, and more) and three car presets let you quickly check translation on real-world systems. The plugin requires one of 500+ supported Sonarworks headphone profiles and includes a permanent SoundID Reference for Headphones license. Ideal for hobby producers working in untreated rooms or on the go, it helps ensure your mixes sound consistent across speakers, cars, and mobile devices. Whether you’re refining details or testing final balances, Virtual Monitoring gives you a reliable reference without leaving your headphones.
