Reliable speaker and headphone calibration

SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones provides a comprehensive calibration solution that enables accurate and consistent sound reproduction for headphones and stereo speaker systems. The software supports over 500 headphone models with ready-to-use calibration profiles and also enables precise measurements and calibrations for stereo systems. Three filter modes - Zero Latency, Mixed and Linear Phase - are available for matching. With additional DSP options such as Mono, Dry/Wet control and Safe Headroom, the sound experience can be made more versatile. The integrated MIDI assignment and the preset function in the SoundID Reference app make it easy to quickly switch between predefined device and channel combinations.

The target sound is controlled via a flat target curve, which is used by over 200,000 musicians worldwide, as well as via the Custom Target real-time adjustment option. With the Translation Check function, the listening experience can be tested on over 20 different simulated devices and environments. The system offers high performance and flexibility through zero-latency plug-in DSP and near zero-latency system calibration on Windows. Thanks to the native support for Apple Silicon, the software can be optimally used on M-Series chips. Calibration profiles can be exported directly to DSP-enabled hardware such as audio interfaces and speakers and are compatible with over 10 different devices.

Nearly latency-free performance for any environment

The Apollo Monitor Correction add-on integrates precise speaker and headphone calibration directly into Universal Audio's Apollo X Gen 1 and Gen 2 audio interfaces. It supports a variety of audio setups, from stereo to extensive 9.1.6 multi-channel configurations, and provides calibration for over 500 headphone models. Multiple outputs can be calibrated simultaneously, including one speaker profile and up to two headphone profiles, depending on the Apollo X model used.

The add-on enables virtually latency-free performance and includes calibrated bass management for stereo speaker systems with subwoofers. It supports various target modes such as Flat, the Dolby Atmos Music curve, user-defined targets and various device simulations via Translation Check. It can be used on up to three devices simultaneously and requires a robust internet connection.

Compatibility exists with macOS and Windows operating systems as well as with the UAD Console v1.2.1 and UAD-2 software v11.5.1 or newer.
