Sonarworks Launches SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO

Audio innovator Sonarworks has announced SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO, a groundbreaking solution that lets creators mix with the same precision and confidence as in their studio, anywhere. Using a bundled SoundID USB binaural in-ear measurement microphone, the system captures the unique acoustic signature of a user’s room and recreates it in their headphones for an ultra-realistic monitoring experience.

Carry Your Studio With You

Virtual Monitoring PRO allows producers, engineers, and creators to measure any stereo speaker setup, from a professional studio to a home workspace or even a car, and then transfer that sound to their headphones. The result is a consistent, studio-grade reference environment no matter where you work.

Whether mixing on the go, collaborating remotely, or producing in different spaces, this technology ensures accurate translation across environments without compromise.

Capture Any Space, Anywhere

SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO redefines what’s possible in headphone monitoring. Users can:

  • Recreate their trusted studio sound on any pair of over-ear headphones.

  • Measure a client’s or collaborator’s room for seamless remote production.

  • Recreate other environments like cars or live rooms for realistic cross-checking.

Unlike typical “room simulation” plugins, Virtual Monitoring PRO delivers an ultra-realistic, personalized recreation of any acoustic environment you visit, not just a model based on generic data.

How It Works: A Simple Four-Step Workflow

  1. Pre-Order or Upgrade Now: Receive the SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO software and the USB binaural in-ear measurement microphone.

  2. Set Up Your System: Prepare your headphones, position yourself in the room you’ll capture, and connect the SoundID mic.

  3. Measure Your Room (Available Nov 11, 2025): A guided workflow captures how your speakers interact with your ears to create your personalized monitoring profile.

  4. Load Your Profile: Apply it in SoundID Reference, as a plugin or system-wide, and mix anywhere with your “studio in your headphones.”
