Sonarworks SoundID Ref Speakers & HP with Apollo

SoundID Ref Speakers & HP with Apollo

Enhance your monitoring with SoundID Reference integrated directly into Universal Audio’s Apollo X Gen 1 and Gen 2 interfaces. This bundle combines SoundID Reference for Headphones & Speakers and the Apollo Monitor Correction Add-on into a single license key. SoundID Reference for Headphones & Speakers is a calibration software that delivers consistently accurate studio reference sound on your existing headphones and speakers. With an applied calibration profile the software sets the frequency response target to be completely flat across all audible frequencies. The frequency response target is designed to emulate neutral-sounding speakers.
