After installing the software, you can proceed with your speaker calibration. A full surround speaker system takes under an hour to complete the measurement process using a flat-frequency-response microphone such as the SONARWORKS Calibration Measurement Mic (not included) or any similar mic. When the measurement is completed, save your speaker profile and apply correction using the plug-in in your favorite DAW, or use the SoundID Reference system-wide app to correct sound from any source on your computer. Besides ensuring a neutral sound, SoundID Reference offers other useful features including Custom Target, which allows you to make custom adjustments to the target curve in real time. And Translation Check helps you simulate your mix on a plethora of devices such as laptop speakers, phone speakers, car speakers, and more.
