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.
