…to calibrate your speakers and headphones.

SoundID Reference (formerly known as Sonarworks Reference)

I’ve been using Sonarworks Reference for years to calibrate my speakers and headphones, and now they have created the next version of this software called SoundID Reference which has many cool new features! Here’s a good article on what’s new.

What’s New:

  • Custom Target curve adjustments: You have full control to adjust the target curve in real-time, including the ability to limit the calibration frequency range.
  • Save precious time with Translation Check: You can now access a library of 20 predefined simulations that will allow you to check your mix in different listening environments.
  • Two new systemwide driver modes for Windows users: Finally, near 0 latency for Windows users.
  • Updated user interface for improved user experience: Multiple improvements and new changes to simplify and streamline your workflow.

NOTE: If you are an existing user of Reference 4, you can install a free trial of SoundID Reference in parallel to Reference 4, so you can explore and try it out before you make a decision to upgrade.

How much does the upgrade cost? Upgrade for Headphones is $39 / €39, for Speakers and Headphones $89 / €89.

Will it work on Apple M1 / Big Sur? SoundID Reference is compatible with Apple Silicon computers through Rosetta Translation Environment.
