Sonarworks Reference 4 Studio Monitor & Headphone Calibration Software
Sonarworks has released the Reference 4 studio monitor and headphone calibration software , compatible with both PC and Mac operating systems . The latest update includes average calibration profiles for 13 new headphones , bringing the total to 114 headphone models altogether .
The new headphone calibrations include popular professional models from AKG , Beyerdynamic , Sennheiser , Sony , Bowers & Wilikins , and others . Sonarworks ’ Reference 4 solution works equally well in both studio rooms and on headphones . After an acoustic analysis of any given room or applying a pre-set measurement profile for headphones , the software employs a DSP-based filtering scheme using up to 4,000 points of correction with the end result being a flat studio reference sound . According to the company , the software works from virtually any location in the studio or on 114 headphone models , automatically compensating for tonal anomalies across the entire frequency range .
