SONARWORKS SoundID Overview

Designed to work primarily with SoundID Reference speaker calibration software, the SONARWORKS SoundID Reference Measurement Microphone is used to measure the frequency response of your room and speakers, capturing the acoustic characteristics of your listening environment and allowing the separately available software to correct unwanted sonic inaccuracies in your monitoring system.

The microphone features a small-diaphragm, electret condenser capsule with an omnidirectional polar pattern, and each mic is individually calibrated, ensuring a flat frequency response with optimal precision. It is supplied with a 0° on-axis calibration file for use in third-party applications, a 30° off-axis calibration file for use in SONARWORKS SoundID Reference software, and a 21-day trial version of SoundID Reference.

Key Features
  • Pre-polarized, electret-condenser capsule with omnidirectional polar pattern
  • Individually measured by SONARWORKS acousticians against an ANSI-certified measurement microphone
  • Accurate within the audible range and free from sample-to-sample irregularities
  • 20 Hz to 20 kHz flat frequency response
  • Includes microphone calibration file for 30° off-axis measurements in .swmic format (Sonarworks software native format) to be used with SoundID Reference
  • Includes microphone calibration file for 0° on-axis measurements in .txt format for third-party use
  • Includes 21-day trial version of SoundID Reference software (Mac or Windows)

The missing piece to the puzzle

By Mark
Rated 5 out of 5

I used a different mic thinking it was ok to use for calibration because it was omni directional with Sonarworks. After recalibrating with the ID reference mic, there was no comparison in the eq spectrum precision this mic delivers. I can now trust my mixes to translate everywhere after using this product. Thank you B&H for making the process simple and smooth.

Essential even in every studio

Most studios, even with acoustic treatment, will have inconsistencies within the frequency domain caused by furniture reflection, stubborn low-frequency room modes and, in the case of a multichannel setup, slight delays and phase differences between the speakers. Sonarworks corrects for all of it, and allows for plenty of customization according to the engineer's listening preference. The calibration takes about 20min for a stereo set, but the difference is night and day. It will not replace acoustic treatment, but it surely is a big cherry on the cake. Mixes translate more easily, and I don't spend hours checking if a particular resonance or frequency build-up is caused by the room/speakers or by the mix itself.

Is this the version that does both speakers and headphones? That is the one we want.
Asked by: Matt
Yes, this version of the software can provide reference EQ for many headphone models, as well as for speakers in your room. A demo of the software is available here: https://bit.ly/3H7fyen
