Setting up SoundID Reference for Speakers in 3 easy steps

• Start With Acoustic Treatment
  SoundID Reference is not a substitute for acoustic treatment. We highly recommend treating your room before calibrating your speakers
• Proceed With the Measurement process
  After installing the software you can proceed with your speaker calibration. Speaker calibration requires a measurement microphone — you can buy one from us or use your own. The measurement process takes only 15 minutes
• Finish your Setup
  After measurement is completed, save your speaker profile and apply correction using the plugin in your favorite DAW or use the SoundID Reference app to correct sound from any source on your computer.
