harder to judge. These issues tend to reveal themselves when a mix moves from rehearsal to the PA, or from the tech booth to a livestream. ORIA Mini helps ensure that balances achieved during preparation remain consistent across these different listening environments, reducing surprises and last-minute adjustments.
Audient ORIA Mini ships with the hardware unit, a dedicated calibration microphone, USB cable, and quick-start documentation. ORIA Mini is designed to be USB powered either from a computer, or from an off-theshelf USB-C power supply. The included calibration microphone removes guesswork from setup, enabling accurate and repeatable measurements right out of the box. ORIA Mini integrates directly with the included Sonarworks SoundID Reference software, which measures how your room and monitoring system interact and then generates a correction profile tailored to your specific space. That profile is stored and applied within ORIA Mini’ s hardware, delivering consistent, system-wide room correction without relying on DAW plugins.
Physically, ORIA Mini is compact and unobtrusive, making it easy to integrate into desks already crowded with interfaces, controllers, and laptops. The ORIA mini build quality feels solid and professional, its clearly intended for daily use rather than occasional tweaking. Integration into an existing setup is straightforward, allowing ORIA Mini to sit neatly in line with studio monitors or headphones in home studios, rehearsal rooms, or church control areas.
ORIA Mini compensates for frequency imbalances introduced by the room, delivering a flatter and more accurate monitoring responses. In daily use, the benefits become clear over time rather than through exaggerated first impressions. Vocal clarity improves, particularly in the critical midrange, while low-end control becomes tighter and less misleading. Stereo
imaging feels more focused, making it easier to place pads, guitars, and ambient elements with confidence. Most importantly, mixes translate more consistently across PA systems, headphones, and livestream playback devices. For worship producers working in small or untreated rooms, this consistency can be genuinely transformative, reducing revisions and second-guessing while building confidence in every mix decision.

Setting up ORIA Mini is intentionally straightforward and is designed to fit easily into worship production workflows. The hardware unit is placed at the end of the monitoring chain, typically between your audio interface or console and your monitors or headphones. After connecting ORIA Mini to your computer via USB, the included setup script and included Sonarworks calibration software guides you through the measurement process using the included professional grade calibration microphone, prompting you to capture multiple listening positions around your mix location. Once measurements are complete, a correction profile is created and loaded directly into ORIA Mini. From that point on, the correction profile runs independently of your DAW, requiring no plugin management or session changes. Once calibrated, ORIA Mini becomes a true set-and-forget solution, providing reliable, accurate monitoring every time the system is powered on.
