SoundID Reference for Headphones and Apollo Monitor Correction Add-on Bundle

Enhance your monitoring with SoundID Reference integrated directly into Universal Audio’s Apollo X Gen 1 and Gen 2 interfaces. This bundle combines SoundID Reference for Headphones and the Apollo Monitor Correction Add-on into a single license key.

SoundID Reference for Headphones is a calibration software that delivers consistently accurate studio reference sound on your existing headphones. The software includes presets of more than 500 headphone calibration profiles. With an applied headphone calibration profile the software sets the frequency response target to be completely flat across all audible frequencies. The headphone frequency response target is designed to emulate neutral-sounding speakers. With calibrated headphones, you’ll hear a flat, consistent sound wherever you go.

Apollo Monitor Correction allows you to run the headphone calibration directly on Apollo X hardware.
