Sonarworks Reference Plugins v3.4.1.3

Headphone calibration

Your headphones. Remastered.

Focus on creating music and let us worry about the sound.

Reference headphones don’t exist.

Every headphone sounds different due to physical properties and limitations of materials and composition. None is neutral enough for critical listening.

We measure the sound of specific headphones and create a digital profile to correct them via DAW plugin. With the advanced technology of our DAW plugin, you get absolute accuracy with shocking simplicity.

Hi-end studio sound from your headphones

Headphone calibration is the process of measuring and adjusting the frequency response of headphones in order to precisely match flat and neutral sounding studio monitors in a well treated studio. Standard studio headphones are transformed into perfectly-engineered precision devices. By giving yourself the gift of accurate sound, you can mix and master with total confidence.

Abbey Road on the road

Not all of life happens in comfortable studios. Take your reference sound where your work or inspiration takes you. Our digital solution delivers the accuracy you need, anywhere you are. Bring your headphones; bring your laptop. That’s it.

Collaborate with ease

Let’s get everyone on the same page, finally. All calibrated headphones retain the same tonal balance. We’d like to announce the official end of never ending arguments caused by different sound references.

Reference sound everywhere

Reference 3 Systemwide allows using calibrated sound for critical listening from any playback source. No more dragging files into your DAW project just to have a listen or figuring out how to check if your kick blasts as hard as the best of them on Soundcloud.

Exceptional sound delivered through unprecedented innovation.

Sonarworks uses a set of patent-pending technologies developed in our laboratory to measure and calibrate headphones.

We perform each measurement process using our proprietary Headphone Acoustic Power (HAP) measurement system. The system is capable of measuring the frequency response from any pair of headphones as perceived by human ears.
